[comp.sys.amiga.misc] A3000 and Bridgeboard Add-Ons

uzun@pnet01.cts.com (Roger Uzun) (05/13/91)

I know a lot of people ask this but:

When one adds an AT bridgeboard to ones A3000, where can one put the
5.25" drive?  I imagine it needs power, can I place it in my A1020 case
(old 5.25" 360k drive for My amiga).

Also is there enough room to put an AT hardcard in the machine, or does
the AT bridgeboard take up too much space?

since there's no space in the 3000's case for a 5.25" disk, that sounds like
a reasonable thing to do.  be careful routing the ribbon cable so it doesn't
get pinched.  i'd try to convince your dealer to give you a nice 1.4M 3.5"
drive instead of the 5.25" drive.

there's room for a hardcard - if you don't have anything in the top (video)
slot.  see my previous post.
