   I'm surprised that nobody has talked about that new hardware hack in
the lastest Amazing Computing. For roughly $70 in parts you get two serial
ports and two parallel ports, and it can be used with all Amigas. It takes
advantage of some of the I/O hardware already in the Amiga, and thus is
pretty cheap and simple to build. You have to pop out a few chips and such
to install it, but it will fit inside your 500/1000! I was wondering if any
hardware hacks out there will offer to build this thing for you, for say
$100+ to cover the labor involved. I'm handy with a soldering iron, but I
don't think I'd care to solder this one together. Seems like a good idea for
hardware hacks to offer producing PD boards (digitizers, I/O ports, LUCAS)
pre-built for a slightly higher fee. Makes you a little money and makes a
lot of Amiga owners happy.
