An associate of mine bought a 2Meg "Bareboard" at the last Commodore Show LA,
in October 1987. Definitely the price was good.  The board has performed
flawlessly so far. He did not get the pass-through, though each A1000 is
different in handlind 1 or more expansions.  The Bareboard he bough did not
autoconfig. He has to use Addmem.  The board comes with vdk:.

I talked to the owner recently at the AmiExpo, and he is now expanding his
business: he now has his boards produced by a third party.
