- I would like to state that I've been VERY disappointed by hydra lately... They
- used to have a decent package, but it took them TWO YEARS to release a non
- functional 2.0 compatible upgrade... They claim their boards are superior to
- all others, but I am wary of that too. They couldn't read Commodore specs for
- autoconfig correctly and shipped a non tested product, which required a PAL
- change. I would advise you to look into expansion boxes for your 500, then plug
- a good old A2065 in that.
-
- Anyway, if you call them, good luck!
- bye
