- This is all correct, btw he plans on making a 2 video slot upgrade avail
- sometime in the future. Oliver (the developer) is a real amiga nut!
- call the company and talk to him sometime, hes great to talk to!

- Yes, you remove the MB, Daughterboard, ram, drives, etc. You leave
- behind a nice shell, and I suggest you look for an extra MB cause A4000's
- are selling like hot-cakes and you may be able to make some $ from the
- deal, thats what I did, anyway.
-
- > 2. "11 slots available at one time" meaning, how many of which slots?
-
- You have ALL of the A4000 Zorro slots, PLUS the additional slots are PC
- "power only" slots. So like TBC's and SFC's, and Switchers, etc can be
- put in those and they just use the power lines. the slot that you loose
- when you use the normal A4000 video slot is open because the video slot
- is RELOCATED on the same board that has these extra PC Power-slots..
- make sense?

- Its not like your typical toaster external slotbox, its a new case for
- your computer... its got a real cool digital read-out to.. Heck my
- amiga only runs 25 Mhz, but mine reads 99 !!! Impress your friends! The
- case is a MONSTER! Its huge! its got caster wheels, fits tons of
- drives, and includes all kinds of cables, mounting brackets, etc, etc.
- The manual says it takes 2 to 3 hours to install, but it only took me 30
- minutes.

- > Also, where is the cheapest place to order/buy this from?
- > AntiGravity Products sells it for $895 in AW... is there anywhere cheaper??
-
- I have no clue! I bought mine about 8 mo's ago (I was kinda a beta
- tester :) Only cost $695 back then.

- > Is there anything else similar that would give me as much (or more) ZORRO slots

-
- Ive heard that there are other sollutions, but I havnt seen any myself.
- Take it from me, its worth the money! Its built SOLID, has easy access
- to drives and such (2 screws and the side swings open like a gate).. Its
- gotta be a heaven for the Flyer... you can fit 10 hours of d2 quality in
- one box :)
-
- One extra bonus, with the right paint it can be made to look just like a
- screamer!
