Ameristar has expressed the desire not  to build and support two types of
networking cards (A1000 and A2000) but rather to concentrate on providing
quality support for one  product  (an  A2000 card). As such, we have been
talking together about  the  potential for persons owning A1000s who want
Ameristar's networking  boards  to  purchase the A2000  card and the ASDG 
2000-and-1 (direct from Ameristar or at a discount direct from ASDG).

While this relationship is not yet in  practice  it has been indicated to
me by Ameristar representatives that it is ok to talk about.

More information  about  Ameristar/ASDG  Mini-Rack compatibility can come
from Ameristar. However, I can tell  you  that a Mini-Rack-D will support
anything that is really Zorro I compatible. As for the Mini-Rack-C? Well,
there is the potential that it will work - we'll have to ask Ameristar.
