The sun's certainly shining at me this week ;)

Well least someone told me before I fudged again!! ;) Basically what I will
do then is buy some ribbon cable, and a plug for that clock port header pins
(using 22pins, not 40?) and run a small extension from under the Ateo Bus, under
the BVision and into a small metal box I'll make, weld it to the case... :)
Handy being my dad is mechanic... :))

No, but it'd be cool :) Like I said to, I'd always choose those lovely AGA
Laced modes though..... ;-)) Besides; if I get an ethernet card; I will still
have somewhere to plug it; and if, IF :) Ateo release the SCSI or IDE cards;
I can plug them in... as if they'll arrive... ;)
