Yeah, I can see my need for a whole bunch of slots :) >So hey, DaveH - how about a "slot terminator" for the A3000 (if >needed), along with a drive tray suitable for holding low profile >(half-height, maybe?) 5 1/4" drives (especially tape drives!). Yeah, and I'd really like an internal 5-1/4" slot to take those tape drives. Hey, I know! Blame it all on smelly sneakers, but I must be brilliant! Here's what we do. We take a HUGE case, stick an A3000-type motherboard on it. With, maybe, ten slots, and maybe like four or five drive bays, and call it the Tower Amiga. Yeah, that's the ticket. And we'll name it the A3500. Yeah, that's it. Hey. You know, if Commodore isn't going to produce something like this, we can just go pack our bags, because we all know the Mac bugs will eat us while we sleep. :) :) [It's four in the AM, and I know I shouldn't post, but....] David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu Get -MB- off the net, elect him as our next Vice President.
