	I have heard of an expansion chassis that makes your A500 essintially an
Amiga 2000.  It enables the use of A2000 hardrives, A2000 cards (including the
I*M bridgeboard),etc).  It runs for about 200 bucks I have heard that the only
drawback is that in I*M mode, it can't access the modem.
	My question is:  Can I buy this chassis, get Amax II+ and use my
internal disk drive as a Mac drive?  If this is possible, screw buying a Mac
drive, I'll just get this little ditty for what it would cost for a Mac drive
and at the same time be able to buy a cheaper Hard Drive!
	Can I do this?
