I am seriously considering buying Bill's Boards bus expander for my
A1000.  I received their literature describing it fairly well.  Now
I would like to hear the opinions of any current owners of
this product:

     Is it relatively easy to assemble if your're not a hardware expert?

     Where is the best place to get the AT case and power supply?

     Is there a particular AT case that works out the best (no drilling)?

     What kinds of expansion boards are you using in it?
     (I have an A2090, A2052, and FastBack hard card that I want to use)

     Can you use an XT-compatible hardcard (like the FastBack) with the 
     A1000 without having a bridgeboard installed in the bus expander as well?

                                         Thanks,

                                         David J. Miller
