@ Cyberus

Personally, I still stand behind the GVP A530. Hard drive, SCSI, RAM, 030, and a disable switch (plus a separate kichswitcher) for 1.3 fallback. Only downside is that it maxes out at 8Mb. Can the Viper do more?

ISA expansion? You can get Zorro and ISA expansion for the A500, but you'll need a bridgeboard and such items are extremely rare now. To the best of my knowledge, A500 PCI expansion does not exist. If you're into hardware design, you could probably build a video slot for the 500, plug in a Picasso IV, and then try to expand the mini-PCI bus on that, but I don't even know if the correct signals are available for full compatibility. You're better off finding a 2000 and bridgeboard, or a 4000 and Mediator.
