Definitely keep me posted.

I've never heard of the either!  Prices look comparable to amigakit and vesalia tho.

Well, guess the title of this thread should be changed to Expanded A2000 using only 1 slot!

Final configuration is:
 GVP 030 Combo board with 16MB RAM, 40MHz '030 cpu,
2MB chip RAM upgrade,
Indivision ECS for VGA output,
SMC media reader booting OS 3.9 off of a 2GB microdrive.

While I was putting it all back together, I was looking in there and thinking those slots sure do look wasted!

I was kicking around the idea of dropping in a 2286 bridgeboard that I've upgraded to a 486, but couldn't get my hard drive controller to work on the PC side AND the BLASTED thing doesn't have an external floppy port!  Only bridgeboard that didn't come with an external floppy port!

If anybody wants pictures, let me know and I'll get them posted.
