Rather then sending it back (and probably face a restocking fee and shipping charges), I'm planning on building a A2000<-->A1000 parallel adapter which should be trivial (All the important signals are present on both). Take a look at the March (I think) issue of AmigaWorld where the pinout differences are specified. A serial port adapter will require a 5v regulator. Note to C=: looking (again) at the A2000 manual update sheets, I indeed located a warning about connecting A1000 devices up to the A2000. I suppose this warning is sufficient (I didn't really expect such a warning to be printed on the machine for all reviewer's to complain about!). The idea of ibm compatibility is acceptable to me. Note to dealers: A quick way to make a buck: build the A2000<->A1000 adapters! (then you could sell all your midi, digitizers, to new amiga owners! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregg Whitcomb USENET: ucbvax!ic!whitcomb ARPA: whitcomb@ic.berkeley.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
