The chicken! The chicken came first! ] Before I write out the $100 check and send it to ASDG, I want to know a few things: o Is there any possibility of bad interaction between my A1000 and anything I may care to plug into the cage? o Will Ronin's 68020 piggyback card for the A1000 work with the cage and anything I plug in it? o If not, will Ronin's 68020 card for the B2000 work in the cage along with anything I plug in it? o Is there space to mount a couple of Syquest removable media drives? (Not critical right at the moment.) Basically, I want to expand my A1000 and take advantage of the stuff for the 2000. I think the time has come for me to get a hard disk, and I want to do it right (which means a 2090A and a SCSI drive). However, I really don't like the ergonomics of the 2000, so I'm wondering if I can get away with just my 1000 and a 2000-and-1. I want to keep my 68020, and not have to worry about whether or not this thing is going to interact badly with that thing, or that I need to have the B-PAL's installed, or that I have to stand on my head facing east. Whatever it is, I want to plug it in and have it work. flickerFixer and 1M CHIP RAM aren't important to me at this time. If the 2000-and-1 will address these problems, then I'll write the check. Otherwise, I'll settle for the 2000. _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Leo L.
