We had a demonstration from Bill's Boards on Sunday at the Amiga Friends
meeting of their expansion board for the A500 and A1000. It sells for US$499
and consists of a connection for the expansion connector, a couple of cables
going to a 'mother board' which has 6 Amiga slots and 5 IBM slots arranged
(if memory serves) with an overlap of 3 for a bridge card. When asked if they
also sold the enclosure they were using (AT Jr. box with power supply) they
pointed out that the same box/supply was readily available for less than
$200, so no they weren't selling it. This means that for less than $700 you
can get a powered expansion box for your A1000.
I should point out that the Bill's Boards expansion does NOT contain a
co-processor slot. It does NOT contain a video slot either. If you want
more info, I can upload some more details, but the literature isn't here
right now.
