Does anyone have the phone number for ATop? that company that is making the AT-Brideboard 386 acc.? I belive they also have a VGA/multi-function card combo, and im very interested in this card and possible the 386 add-on if CBM does not decide to come out for or rather with a 386-BB anytime soon. any info. on this company and it's products would be most welcome. Thanks… Tim

Tim… The number is 216-352-8471. I'm running a lot of stuff on ATOP in CROSSINGS right now–installation, benchmarks, etc. Marion CROSSINGS Newsletter for Amiga/IBM compatibility

Tim, I installed one of those VGA multifunction cards in a 3000T for someone. It's got two serial ports, one parallel, IDE hard disk, floppy, and a buss mouse (rodent included.) BTW, JDR Microdevices also carries that card. It's called the MCT-VGAEIO by 'Modular Circuit Technology'. If you've got the Feb issue of Computer Shopper, look on page 862. If you don't put anything in the video slot, both the AT bridge and that card should fit in a regular 3000.

Jim, Thanks for the responce, sounds promissing, I also have found out that it's possible to add a 3rd AT slot to the A-3000 via a Y-Card/hack I got the info. from a guy who has done this on use-net. If you or anyone on here is interested in that message, i'll post it here. He talked to Dave H. at CBM, who told him that it sould work just fine. he has done this hack only he used an xt slot, and he seems very pleased with it. Tim

Tim, I saw your message on the 3rd slot (literal!) hack. Filed it for future reference, thanks. I'm still running my kludge-o-matic 1000. Jim
