Having missed out on the $1300 A2000 I've decided to upgrade what I have...I
want to get a 48MB Seagate HD with the Trumpcard and later add a 68020
Hurricane board later on....what I don't know is whether the Hurricane sits on
top of the motherboard or is through the side port. All I have is a one line
description in an ad...68020,68881 & 1meg.  My first guess is that it sits on
top of the motherboard.

Does anyone know if you can get 2mb on the board?  Is the Hurricane the best 
accelerator board for the 500?  Is there a passthrough on the Trumpcard box?
Should I worry about my power supply?

Sorry for all the questions...thanks for all the help!
