- Dan,
-
- I have a A1000 (very old SN about 5000) and I have a StarBoard II
- with 2 megs and a StarDrive controller in the same small unit. It is
- hooked up to a Q105 and works GREAT! I know the StarDrive is still
- being sold by MicroBotics for about 35 or $40 (a real deal), but you
- would have to find the SB2 used. I really love the setup and just ordered
- an AdSpeed that will come to me Monday (so they say). Can't wait!!!
- If you have more specific questions just email me at TAA33@ISUVAX.IASTATE.EDU
