Betty- 'Nother thought. I've currently got a ToolBox type unit with 2 megs stuck into the left side of my A500. If I add a hard-drive, should it go into the expansion slot on the box, or can I plug it into the A500 and then plug in the box? I ask, since typing with my left hand constantly banging into this box is a real pian (see what I mean?!). Thanks again, -jb signature

John, I don't think it would matter which is first, assuming that they will both work together. You really should try them together before committing your money to it, because some of them conflict with each other. If I were you, I'd take the 500 do the dealer and try it all out together before buying. Then, you might have to try it each way to see which gives the better performance. You see, that expansion bus was only intended to have ONE add-on. Sometimes you can have more, but it was not originally intended that you could, so we never know without trying. .Betty
