Hello:

It sounds like there is a lot of Gateway 486/66 experience
out there. I have a few questions regarding both the
4DX2-66V AND 4DX2-66E models:

Is the serial-i/o implemented with a 16550 style UART (one
that contains 16-word fifo's)?

Can one disable the serial-i/o and parallel-i/o to support
the use of the address space + irq for an i/o adpater card?

How many pins are in the CPU expansion socket (169, 238 or xxx)?

Has anyone had experience with the local bus SCSI option for
the 66V? Please provide details (manu, 500MB upgrade cost,
performance relative to motherboard IDE).

Does gateway also provide a non-local bus SCSI for the 66V?

How does a 66V with SCSI compare to the 66E?

In general, how does the 66E perform relative to the 66V?

Specific to 66E:

  Is the SCSI interface on a local bus?
  Can it support an ATI Ultra Pro LB card in addition to the
  SCSI?

  What is the Ultra Pro LB upgrade cost?

I though I understood Gateway's telephone "on-hold ad" to 
claim 9.4 MB/m on the $195 Colorado Jumbo 250 tape upgrade.
Does this upgrade include an accelerated interface?

What is the cost of a single 16MB simm upgrade?

What is the ramdac & 2MB upgrade cost for the ATI Ultra Pro?

Thank you, I will summarize responses.
