I recently bought Supra's SupraDrive 4x4 interface for the A1000, and can
attest that it passes the bus, although I don't use that facility at the
present.  I also wanted to comment on the above referenced price of $175 (or
thereabouts).  When I priced these interfaces, the CLtd one was considerably
higher than the Supra; its list price, for the 1000, was $299, whereas the
list price of their A500 interface was only $199!  I can't understand why
there would be such a price difference between a peripheral for the 1000 and
the same one for the 500, unless the unit for the 1000 was being considered a
"special" or a low-quantity-build situation, since it is a discontinued
machine, and there are probably more 500's out there now that there are
1000's (sniff sniff).
