[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A3000 SLOT EXTENSION

jgallego@pnet01.cts.com (Jose Gallego) (04/25/91)

Hi!
Could anyone tell me if this is feasible:
 
If you install the AT bridgeboard on the A3000 you have only one more IBM slot
to use.  I was wondering if it was possible to use a IBM slot extender so I
could use my IBM memory expansion, VGA card, I/O card and hard disk
controller.
 
These cards work OK on my A2000 but I would prefer to move them to the A3000.

I remember seeing an ad for this type of slot extender for IBMs but I do not
recall where.
 
Any information will be greatly appreciate...

Thanks,
Jose

i don't have any information on whether this has been tried before, but it
sounds a little iffy to me.  might work, might not.  i asked a resident
pc hardware guru the question, and he made a face.
