Which Model of Amiga? If it's the A1000, you can add the SideCar (if you can find one). If it's an A2000, you add the BridgeCard. If it's an A500, you add an expansion box with PC bridge slots and then add the SideCar. You say you'd like to add 40 to 50 Meg of RAM???? I hope you meant a 40 or 50 meg Hard Drive as the Amiga won't expand to 40 or 50 Meg of RAM, it will take 9 Meg maximum (anyway…40 Meg of RAM would cost about $10,000). Again…adding a hard drive depends on the model of Amiga. I'd suggest you contact a dealer and look at the options available to you with your model of Amiga. That way you can see what's available and in what price range…both for adding IBM compatability and a Hard Drive. Don
