I currently own an Amiga 2000 with a Microbotics 8-UP
memory board and a Microbotics HardFrame HD controller,
controlling a Quantum 80S drive. Unfortunately, the
motherboard for the 2000 is Rev 6, and does not allow
simultaneous operation of the memory board and the
HD controller. I understand that this is a design flaw
which was corrected in later versions of the mother-
board. Unfortunately, I discovered this after the
warranty ran out. Currently, I am running with only
the HD, and letting the memory board collect dust.

Recently, I've been considering purchase of the more
powerful Amiga 3000. My question is: will I be able to
use my memory board and disk controller on the 3000?

If anyone out there can provide an answer to this,
I would appreciate very much hearing from you. Many
thanks in advance!

Rick
