I have a TrumpCard 500 along with the 4 meg memory board they sell with it (2meg populated). I am running AmigaDOS 1.3.2 with 1.3 Kickstart ROMs. Other than that, a standard A500 hardwarewise. Is there any way to get more speed out of it? I am getting (from DiskSpeed) a maximum of about 300k/sec with the 256K buffersize. Also, is there a program to tell me how fast my hard drive as it is configured now without messing around with weird buffer sizes? Thanks in advance, Jon

I've read that the controller and memory expansion boards from the TC500
can be transferred to an A2000 (leaving you with a big expensive box to
sell with your 500) but is the reverse possible?
Basically, do I have to buy *their* 4 meg expansion board, or can I just
pop in any A2000 card that would fit the case?

Most ZorroII boards will not fit in the Trumpcard 500 case. The Meta-4 is a short board that norrows toward the back to match the slant of the case. Also, I think it also not as tall as a typical ZorroII board. Again, this is so it will fit. Eric Edwards: c506634 @ "I say we take off and nuke the entire site Inet: umcvmb.missouri.edu from orbit.
