I have an A500 with a meg and would like to upgrade to something bigger, better and more expensive. :-) I have about $1700 (US) and would like to get the Bodega Bay and either the BridgeBoard or ATonce. I need your advice on which to get. I want to find out about compatibility, if it is possible to connect a high density disk drive to it, how fast they are. The usual stuff. I want to know which hard drive is the best to use. Speed is very important as is memory that can be added. The best one I have seen is the GVP series II. Would it be worth it to try to sell my A500 and buy a new A2000? This would have the ECS in it right? Then I wouldn't have to buy Bodega Bay, but what other advantages would I have in doing that? I'm sure that there are lots of other A500 owners so you may want to post a reply instead of mailing me. I really need some advice because I want an Amiga that won't be obsolete in 2 months. Thanks in advance, Josh
