   As being the person that posted this I guess I should defer to the people
who designed the 500. Anyone from CBM willing to explain potential problems 
associated with a expansion chassis on the 500. Will the fact that it has no 
BUSTER chip affect having a DMA SCSI card with a BridgeBoard and a memory 
card on the Amiga side. What I want to know is can you get all of the signals
from the 86 pin bus to drive a 030 accelerator?

   I just remember some of the expansion chassis from 2 yrs ago giving 500 
owners grief and explanation of how when you buffer the bus to reduce noise you
make multiple things on the bus "unstable". Or am I just dreaming about these 
post?

  I would like to hear from someone who bought it and has >1 thing installed
in it. The true test will be the running of MANY different boards.
