My .02c : I would highly recommend the IVS Trumpcard as a means of
hard-drive/ram expansion for the Amiga.  It is well designed, the
expansion box slopes in order to ease typing, and IVS offers wonderful
support.  Also, the best part is that with all this, it is also the
CHEAPEST alternative.  And when you want to upgrade to a 2000, all you
have to do is plug the cards into the 2000!
