Title: StarBoard 2
Post by: thanos on May 23, 2008, 09:51:15 PM

Hmmm...

When I recently acquired my A2000 I also picked up a StarBoard 2, 1 MB Ram, with StarDrive SCSI adapter.

The Starboard card was designed for the A1000.  I had hoped to use the StarBoard for the extra 1 MB of ram.  I purchased an adapter, an SB2000, so I could install it my A2000.

Success!  The card and the adapter work!  I have not tested the StarDrive portion because I already have an A2091 SCSI card and drive.

Failure...The adapter causes the card to require a little more space in the machine than I really have.  I also have an A2286 bridgeboard and was hoping to use it.

Should I drop it off the roof, along with the A2286?
Somebody already suggested that I drop the bridgeboard...
 
Anybody have a need for the Starboard, and/or, adapter?

I have an A1000 that could use some RAM expansion and SCSI.
How much are you looking for the StarBoard 2, 1 MB Ram, with StarDrive SCSI adapter ?

I would actually prefer to trade?

I was looking for some upgrades for my A2000.

I also have an A2000; however, I only have a few extra components. Which upgrades are you looking for?
