I think Comp.Sys.Amiga.Questions makes much more sense. | Actually I've always wanted comp.sys.amiga.a2000 comp.sys.amiga.a500 etc. | While I'm sympathetic to 500 owners who have bad power supplies or such, | I'd really rather not see a zillion postings about it.

Aren't there bus extensions for the 500 that will accept Zorro cards? I must admit, though, that I also do not care for the "My power supply is flaking out ..." messages. But what about 500 owners considering moving up to the 2000 architecture? I'm sure there are a lot of people that read the net that would consider doing this at some point or another. Also, I'm not sure that the hardware discussions are delineated along the 500/2000 boundary enough to create a separate group for each. I still think C.S.A.Questions is a good idea for keeping crufty questions like these separated from the more serious hardware discussions. As soon as the call goes out, my vote will go in for C.S.A.Hardware. However, I would like to see discussion regarding C.S.A.Questions as well. Just another thought. Eric -- . |~~ Eric J.
