The 2000's that I have are out of slots >as it is. Well, I see it different: In the 3000, you typically need 2 boards less than in an A2000: 1. HD controller (we have SCSI on board), 2. RAM expansion (18 MB on board do at this time, though this may change in a few years :-). So if one of the Zorro slots is blocked by a video board, you still save one slot in favor of the 3000T. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
