[ No!  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.
