I have been considering getting an expansion box for my A1000 so as to
have Zorro II compatibility, the question I was wondering is: How different
is the 2000 expansion slots compared to an expansion box (such as the
tool box)?  Is the a1000 bus speed, DMA etc. comparable to the 2000's?
Also, I understand there is also a good bit of a problem with bus noise
on the a1000s.  Any input is appreciated...
