The 2000's that I have are out of slots as it is. The 2286 should be redone so that it's a 486 these days, and on ONE slot, leaving 3 MSDos slots (minimum) available and at least 4 Amiga slots available in the 3000. Either that or we need a super-tower version of the 3000! voice: (708)691-4747 Internet:dhansen@amiganet.chi.il.us
