- In a A2000, you can have up to 6 Meg (well, more if you can add it in
- small enough increments, but most cards only allow you to add in 2 Meg
- increments) of autoconfig RAM, so you're fine. The amount of RAM on the
- BB doesn't matter, it's in it's own little world and the Amiga doesn't
- know, or care, that it exists.

- Yes, get AmiCDEx21.lha from Aminet (misc/emu), and follow the
- instructions (they're not tough). I've got a NEC 6Xi in my 3000T, and can
- run CD-ROM games (like Discworld) on the PC side.

- Yes. You can make them as big as you like, as long as you've got
- MS-DOS 5.0 or later. Or get Janustools from Aminet (same directory as
- AmiCDEx21, misc/emu) and use a real partition rather than the hard-file
- that Janus uses (much faster).
