WRONG!  *!BUZZ!*  (floor opens, ethan falls in)

the ATOnce won't support any kind of pc hardware expansion.  what it does now
is what you're stuck with.  the bridgeboards from commodore are the only way
to get the ability to use PC expansion boards with your PC emulation.

see a few articles ago for the scoop on the screenshot.

someone (spirit?) was selling a monster called ax/s, but that didn't do pc
emulation, but let you borrow pc compatible boards for the amiga's use.
