I wonder what is going to happen to all these people who have two card cages for their 500's and 1000's, and who want an autobooting hard drive, a serial card, and don't want to throw away their 2M or so of memory... they are going to be stuck trying to decide which way they are going to go - maybe this is the time for a manufacturer to create a card which has space on board to add a serial board, or and a connector which goes to special card which attaches somewhere else - I think a piggy back would be nice, harddrive controller with a serial card built on or something. I am sorta wondering if anyone has more than one serial port on their Amiga? ANYONE??? What did you do?
