Micronik vs Eagle Tower kits - opinions please
« 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.
