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. — Tom
