Note: This was already posted in comp.sys.amiga.hardware but I forgot to

crosspost it and I'm hoping someone here has the information I seek as I
haven't gotten any replies from the hardware subgroup.  If this is a blatant 
disregard for protocol, I'm sorry.

Has anyone got any information, pros or cons, on the UK's A1500
expansion box for the A500?
Specifically, would there be any incompatibilities or whatnot with it
being a UK manufactured
box using it in the US?  Also, does anyone have the name/address of the
manufacturer?  

I read some information which basically said the A1500 gives the A2000
video slot and CPU
slot, detached keyboard and case, and n A2000 slots (purchased and
added).  The only feature
that appears to be lacking from what I have already seen is the
Bridgeboard capability and
AT slots.

So, if anyone has any more information, manufacturers address, or
(hopefully) first hand
experience...please mail or post.
