A500 - How much can I expand it!

[GreggBz]

Does anyone know if this: Harms Professional 030' Accelerator
will work with this: ICD AdIDE 40


I'm not to concerned about clearence because I plan on towerizing the
whole system soon.

I currently have 1.3 roms, an 4 MB ram card, and the ICD scan-doubler, flicker fixer in my mighty A500. I guess I might as well make the ultimate A500 tower now that there is a 030 accelerator on Ebay.
That's the plan anyway.

Well, I had notions of putting it in an old Cisco router box,
with a modified TFX power supply.

It'll be homemade basically.

From the hardware information:

"The card must be fitted underneath any accelerator which also occupies the CPU socket."


Using some very abstract logic here, I'll make the assumption that the timing/innerupts on the pins on the bottom of the accelerator are adjusted so that's it's transparent to the rest of the hardware. So, I guess it will just look like a 68000 to the ICD device.

Ok, you guys talked me out of it. No tower.
I definitely plan on doing something interesting and exciting with it. I'm thinking a nice white color. What to do with the keys though..

The system is currently:
ICD FlickerFixer
ICD AdRam
ICD AdIDE40

300MB Quantum Hard Drive.
Magnavox Monitor.
