Title: Micronik vs Eagle Tower kits - opinions please
Post by: alewis on August 14, 2006, 11:00:17 AM
I have two tower kits for my A4000.

1. Micronics tower with A4K expansion board
2. Eagle tower with the RAMIGA-7 expansion board

The Micronics tower looks better, but the board is ZIII/ISA only. The Eagle board has PCI, but the case looks naff.

I understand that the PC slots in each board are inactive - what do I need to add to activate them? I *do* have a Goldengate GG2+ busboard, although I imagine that would limit use to ISA, I also have a couple of Prometheus cards; would one of these enbable the expansion board PCI slots, or only the Prom PCI slots?

I'm thining of a board swap RAMIGA -> Microniks tower, then selling the other hybrid. Opinions and advice welcomed.

Forget about using the PCI on either of those boards. They will never work.

Prometheus is only it's own PCI slots...

Sooooo, you can go for the Micronik and if you want PCI go for the Mediator 4000, which will fit the Micronik tower
