From this it sounds like your 68020 board should also work fine in
ASDG's 2000&1 box.  Can you (or Perry) confirm this?

Your 68020 board sounds like a good product.  Thank you.

I'd sure expect it to, but I don't have an ASDG 2000-and-1 box yet, and Perry
doesn't have a 68020 board yet.  To use it, you'd remove the 68000 from your
A1000, set the 68020 board to the "A2000" position, and zoom, I suspect.  
Since an A1000 with 2000-and-1 box should appear electrically identical to the
German A2000 (at least timing-wise), I don't expect any problems.

As Dave has said - he doesn't have a 2000-and-1 and we don't
have a CBM 68020 card - but we expect things to work out perfectly
since the CBM card will operate in the german A2000. I can assure 
you one of the first completed 2000-and-1's will go to CBM for their
testing and amusement. 

(perry here - using eric's account for now)

See ya.
