(Note: no smilies here!). Have a meg on the motherboard, and standard Zorro II slots in it. Just sorta imagine it as a b2000 without those useless Bridge board slots on it. If you can squeeze it into a Baby AT case, go for it! OOps! Almost forgot - you gotta put the equivilent of the 2090A on the motherboard! (no internal HD as the bare system, but with the scsi there, the potential is almost unlimited!) >I've been wavering between the price of >the 500 and the expandability of the 2000.

(And I already have a b2000, with 3 megs of ram - no scsi drive yet, but as soon as the 2090A is out, watch out world!) >> --Chuck McManis >Gary Heffelfinger -- ================================================================== == Kurt J.
