- I have an Amiga 500 with a GVP Series II controller sitting on my
- expansion port. I read recently in an Amiga magazine, that there
- is a company, which sells a device for the Amiga 500 expansion port,
- which passes through the original expansion port (!) and allows
- you to attach a standard A2000 card on it (soon they will also sell
- it with two A2000 slots).
-
- With this device it should be possible to attach my original GVP
- controller plus one of Commodores Ethernet cards on it. I wonder if
- such a configuration would work. If anybody knows about certain
- problems of such a configuration (like: A500 expansion port cannot
- handle two "heavy duty" devices), please let me know.
-
- I'm running currently KS 2.04, all ECS, and 9MB RAM, 68010. If you
- know of some "alternative" ways of networking an Amiga, IBM system,
- please let me know.
