You can just buy one (the Bodega Bay).

Get them from the

Commodore Computer Center http://www.commodorecomputercenter.com/amigahw.htm / ccc@spro.net

I checked last fall (around october), and it still was in stock.

But too huge in the end, I got myself a nice Phoenixboard fo the A1000.

Have fun,

I have a Bodega Bay and have never been able to get a 3.1 ROM to work with it (iirc I tried a few times with a Rev. 5 A500 with both physical ROMs and via SKick... no go).  It works okay with 2.0 ROMs most of the time, but that means no web browser program works on it.  Also, you're going to miss not having an A2000 style accelerator slot.  The only accelerators that work with the Bay are the expensive/rare A500 68000-slot types. You're really better off just hooking up the A500 with a modem to the net, or use a slingshot sidecar expansion with a ZII ethernet card.  Lastly, it is huge; the A2000 has nothing on the Bay size-wise.  I took the Bay's busboard right out of it and made a very long mid-tower containing it and the A500 m/b that sits on the floor under my desk.  For what you'll spend on the Bay you'll get a complete A2000 on eBay.  Just some thoughts before you buy.

Let us know if you did buy it!!


Have fun,

Looks like your going to win the auction.

Let us know if you manage to get it working.

Apparently, the last Bodega Bay available in the free world was bought just a few days before I expressed interest in it :lol:

@Floid

Thanks for the link.  I'll NEVER outgrow that many ports on my little home network, and for $5.00 :-D

Now if I can just figure out how to use it :lol:
