Although the basic rule of one add-on does seem to apply, I have the Supra
interface and the Cardinal Software J-RAM board hooked together to the add-on,
with the Supra on the inside (closest) to the Amiga.
When I first purchased the Supra 20 Meg and hooked it in tandem with the RAM
board, I usually GURU'd within 15-20 minutes of use. At first I thought that
the combination was incompatible due to the RAM board itself but after speaking
to the creator of the board (who no longer makes them) and here on the SIG, I
found out that the most reasonable approach would be to ensure that my PAL
chips were properly grounded.
I spent $60 (if memory serves me right) to have the PALs grounded and I very
rarely get a GURU now even though I have the two peripherals added on to my
1000.
The moral to this story is that is indeed POSSIBLE to have 2 add-ons to the
1000 and that you should first try the PAL-grounding route first before giving
up on one of the peripherals.
