 Don't know if this compares, but an A2000 with an additional 5 1/4 hooked to a
Bridgeboard and a 30M HD for $10. Unfortunately I haven't yet got the #$$^#$&
B-B functioning. So no 2nd fdd, no HD, and no info on a small mystery card with
a mini-din connector also in a ISA slot.
 Problem is when your behind the technology curve, you also have a steeper
learning curve, but it's better than being on the bleeding edge.
 In Can$ that works out to about 50 cents of course. If it wasn't so cold
up here we could be a "banana republic", if we dropped the queen.

 BTW there is a CoCo emulator for Atari STs. :^))
