Can anyone clear this up for me? If I want to put an AT BridgeBoard in a 3000 how many slots do I get. As I understand it... - There are 4 slots in a 3000 2 Amiga and 2 AT slots, 2 are shared Amiga/AT - The AT BB takes up how many slots? - After the BB do I have any spare AT slots? If I want to put a BB in a 3000 can I also put in a VGA card, or does the BB take up 2 slots. If it does, can't I still have a slot available since I can use 3 of the 4 slots as IBM AT slots if I only want 1 Amiga slots? I'm sure someone out there is doing this and I'd love to hear from anyone who will obviously know more than I do... -- _______________________________________________________________________ / / / / Brian J.
