There are now a number of serial boards available for the A2000, such as
ASDG's dual-port one and the new Commodore board (is it out yet?), and I
think I have seen adds for one or two others.
 
My question is:  is it posibile to make a serial board for the A500?  I
know that I would be interested in one.  I would assume that it would have
to be hooked up via the expansion port on the left side of the A500, but
if that was done it would ABSOLUTELY have to have a bus passthrough on it
as almost all A500 hard drives are attached here.
 
Any hardware gurus out there know the doability of such a beast?
