Help me trick out an A2000

[tone007]

I've used the Spectrum, it's a decent board and does do RTG nicely.  I'd almost say having an RTG board is more important than a crazy accelerator, I think you get more for your money.

This is a bargain, I'd grab it but I have all I need.

Simple AUI to RJ45 transceiver and you're all set.

Also, if the machine is going to primarily run applications, and use RTG, will I get a lot of mileage out of the expanded chip memory ?

Generally if you have enough fast ram, then you won't need to worry about chip ram so much when you're using RTG.

There's a great RTG card for the 2000 at a decent price.  Better than the Spectrum, I'd say.
