Wit only two external floppy drives, you would have no problem
running the Starboard II (with enough left over to run one of our SCSI
Hard Disk Controllers <hint>). The ASDG Virtual Disk program that allows
partitioning of the RAM is in the public domain and can be used on the
StarBoard II as well.
The current ASDG Box uses old `Zorro' standard (see new issue
of Amiga World hardware review for a discussion of `NEW' vs `OLD' Zorro.
I would not recommend buying an old Zorro box at this time, for the
reasons stated in the article. If you really decide you need a box,
several `NEW' Zorro spec boxes will be out by this summer.
But you can but the Starboard II -NOW- and still use it with
a proprely designed Zorro Box (that passes through the expansion port)
when they become available.
