   There was one box I saw at AmiEXPO, and I asked to be put on ASDG's
mailing list for their 2000+1 box..
   The one I saw was called the "Bus Expander".. it was in a PC-clone case
with a PC-clone power supply, didn't have the CPU slot the 2000 has, and I
don't remember seeing a monitor slot either (no mention in the add of course)..
They do claim the 2088 bridgecard works though.
   I asked about ASDG's box, and found out that it will be out RSN.. whatever
that means :-)  so I didn't bother to ask about info but got on their mailing
list.

   I believe ASDG's box will have CPU slot, etc.. but I won't know till I get
the literature on it.

   There are probably more, but that's all I saw.
