The subject line says it all. Has anybody seen one of these? Used one? I'd like to wait for the ASDG 2000'n'1 chassis (given CSA's problems with their 68020 card in stock 2000's), but everytime I call ASDG, they say "10 - 12 weeks to prototype". It really sounds as though they've back-burnered the project. So I'm considering the CSA Highrise. Recommendations? Oh, sorry about the repost. Things are flakey at this moment. And, please, post your replys. Mail is hosed as well. John Gordos oucs!arp -or- decuac!uccba!crta!gordos

I really hate to bad mouth a "high tech" product, but a guy in the Northern Ill. Amiga Users group has one that has been a real headache.... CSA said that its OK to buy ASDG? 's 8 meg board and use it in the tower. He bought it and it didn't work. After a lot of finger pointing is "seems" to be a lack of ground plane or signal line noise within the tower interface. CSA will try to fix it if he send them his system and LOTS of money.....Anyway, the guy is bummed and forced to run with a reduced amount of memory on his memory board. CSA may have fixed their design problem, and it probably will work if you stick to only their boards, But wouldn't it be simpler, safer, and cheeper to sell your 1000 and buy a 2000? DISCLAIMER: This is all second hand from a non-tech. user that has a HUGE amount of hardware and money. He's thrown a lot of time and money at this problem and finally given up.
