A couple of questions for the hardware folks at C-A:

Would it be possible to install a 1/2 length card in the each of the
in-line slots (IBM & Amiga) that are not occupied by the bridge card?

There are plenty of "short slot" cards for the IBM, if someone were to
make a "short slot" card for the Amiga, it seems like the A200 would
then have the use of 3 IBM slots and 4 Amiga slots.

Or is there something in the bus that requires that IBM cards be on the
left side of the bridge card, and Amiga cards on the right?  


Second question:

Any truth to the rumors that the A500 and the A2000 have half-brite
chips installed? True or not, what is the status on the half-brite?

I saw the half-brite mode mentioned in one of the third-party Amiga
reference books. Is this a hint of things to come?
