 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Are you talking about the ASDG Twin-X boards?  At the time I got the Twin-X
Serial from ASDG there was a limit of 2 boards, with a maximum of 16 serial
ports (4 SERIAL/4 modules).  Has this changed, Perry?  Note that assuming
you could plug in 32 serial ports, you'd need *4* A2000 slots.  The price
if what is $329?  The BBS software?

I recall rumours they were bought out by Haitex, but the latest software list
in AC mentions them as Amic Development.  I wonder what happened to the money
they got as advance payments at the AmiExpo LA in Jan. 1987 [talk about
"vaporware" :-)].
