You can't have a 4-way clock adapter and a sound card sadly. I wanted the
same but its not possible because of bandwidth, which is already a hack for
existing A1200 sound cards. You will have to choose, a sound card on the
clockport will offer a c/port pass-thur for serial, but the IOBlix parallel
will NOT work on this pass-thur :( And you need the 4-way clock-port
expander to extend the clock port connector AWAY from the space the BVision
takes up. The Melody1200 (is that still in production for A1200?) comes
with an extender cable IIRC for people with a BVision too.

Hmmm, is it really worth it though??!

hmmm... well PureBasic would be nice, is that gonna support PPC? StormC 4
when it arrives, fxPaint supports PPC for doing your doodles in 24-bit too.
AmigaWriter 2 will be out this month and thats PPC IIRC too.

BYe,
