I know this question has been asked a thousand times on the net, but I have
never seen the answers. I don't get to read all the message very often so
please accept my apologies now. Please reply via E-Mail so I am sure to
see it this time.
I am looking to add Memory and a hard drive to my 1000. The only one that
will allow me to do both that I know of is the Starboard 2 with the SCSI
adaptor. Are there any other ways to get both? Also how about adding just
a SCSI interface, whats available to do that?
Thanks.......

The only one that >will allow me to do both that I know of is the Starboard 2 with the SCSI The Supra 4x4 SCSI interface accepts optional RAM boards that mount inside it. I have been told that they no longer make those, but some may still be available. In my 1000 i have the Insider 1MEG expansion card, and the Supra 4x4 hanging off the side (i don't have any of the Supra 4x4 boards, though). This combination seems to work very well. They were pretty cheap too, about $125 for the Supra from a local dealer, but i bought the insider back when memory was much cheaper. One question: Can anyone tell me why certain objects in Mindwalker (the orange antibodies in the second part) and the public domain MissileDefense (the satellites that fly by horizontally) smear along the whole height of the screen? I thought maybe they didn't like the RAM expansion, but running NoFastMem before running the games didn't help (in fact, rebooting with NoFastMem on the first line of the startup-sequence didn't help). I don't run FastMemFirst. This is especially annoying in MindWalker, it actually hurts your game. -Michael Murphy mjm@manatee.cis.ufl.edu

Overscan displays steal DMA cycles off the bus that normally go to the sprite hardware. That's why some objects in games look strange if you are using an overscan Workbench. --M -- Michael Portuesi / Information Technology Center / Carnegie Mellon University INET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu / BITNET: mp1u+%andrew.cmu.edu@cmccvb UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ "I'm very sorry, Master, but that WAS the backup system" -- Slave
