- I have done some Amiga Tower projects before. As far as I know the 3000
- motherboard uses a daughter card for the zorro slots. This is mounted so the
- expansion cards actually parallel the motherboard. The 3000T motherboard is one
- HUGE board with all the zorro slots directly on it like a standard pc board.
-
- While you might be able to hack everything into a tower case you will have a
- difficult time getting the zorro slots to line up with the card cage (they will
- be 90 degrees off) if you use a standard unmodified pc tower case.
-
- It's ALOT of work to make them nice whatever way you go about it. After my
- first couple of tower conversions I just cheated and bought a 3000T :-).
-
- Good Luck
