i have no idea why i'm stuck in caps lock...according to my terminal, caps is off, but according to my eyes, its not--sorry anyway, on top of ugly text, i am probably asking a silly/obvious question, regarding the atonce. will the atonce support ibm expansion cards? i'm guessing not since it doesn't "bridge" the slots, but i have to ask. thanks, eric

Just got an ATonce Thursday. It worked first time, sorta.
Seems to have the following peculiartities in case anyone
else hase seen them.
1. If you let it get warm it locks up. (Added a fan)
2. Can't get mouse to work, nor modem to work with Carbon
Copy.
3. Norton Si is 6.2 in 2 color modes like Herc, otherwise it's
around 2.9 Same holds for other speed test, lower the bit-
planes, faster ATonces.
4. Can't seem to find a way to kill it. Even a Ctrl Amiga Amiga
returns me to the Atonce screen. Power on/off is the only way
to get rid of it that I've found.
Also: I must be confused. My A500 is new, and the manual shows
a fat agnes. has agnes always been fat? IE is fat agnes 512K
and the new 1 meg agnes is the Fater or super-fat (perhaps obese)
agnes? I guess I don't understand women.
Anyhow, I'm not entirely dissatisified with it, it does work, but
I think I'll get a Bridge Board anyway eventually....

It won't, I'm sure. I saw a photo of the A2000 adapter, it's the normal atonce put on a slightly bigger card with a few ICs, going into the CPU slot (or Zorro?) of the A2000. But to make use of the PC slots, you would need something similar to the bridgeboards, that at least has a physical connection to them. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

Yes, Agnus is Fat Agnus for a500 and a2000. a1000 uses Lean Agnus. >UUCP: {hplabs!hp-sdd ucsd nosc}!crash!pnet01!jackf >ARPA: crash!pnet01!jackf@nosc.mil >INET: jackf@pnet01.cts.com -- David Tiberio SUNY Stony Brook 2-3481 AMIGA DDD-MEN Tomas Arce Any students from SUNY Oswego?
