I hear you can get 300bps on that setup.

All jest aside.  A zorro II busboard is a nice addition to an A500.  the A2065 ran very stability in such a configuration for over a year with out any problems.  One just needs to make sure they have a big enough power supply.  My friends use to love my old a500.  They use to call it the borg.  It looked almost as bad as an old Ti99/4a with all the stuff handing out the side, (on the left rather than the Ti99/4a's right)

The only reason that the A2065 was removed, was I finally purchase a big box amiga,  In this case a A3000.  The A2065 is still in that system until this day.
