	Simple.  Just tell the boss man's wife to go out and purchase
	one of those after market Zorro-II slots on an A1000 box. Or, if
	she bought an A500, get an A2000 slots on an A500 box.

	Ameristar sold a tack on the side A1000 product for quite a 
	while.  Aside from costing a small fortune in (low volume) sheet 
	metal and UL/VDE/CSA approved power supplies, it just wasn't a great
	seller. But while you're asking questions, what you really want
	to know is this: "Why did Commodore change the Zorro spec?"  
	Enough said?
