I was informed that it may be possible to alter the two remaining 8-bit slots on my Amiga 2000 motherboard into 16-bit ISA slots, that the remaining pin ports are active... thus i could use two additional peripherals on a bridgeboard.... is this true?

It certainly is true. I did it to mine. Just solder in the extra connectors.Quote:> I was informed that it may be possible to alter the two remaining 8-bit slots on my Amiga 2000 motherboard into 16-bit ISA slots, that the remaining pin ports are active... thus i could use two additional peripherals on a bridgeboard.... is this true?

You should limit the line length to max 72 chars, Usenet standard.
Yes, just add those missing connectors, nothing more needed.Quote:>I was informed that it may be possible to alter the two remaining

Old 286 motherboards are throwaway items these days and they have the
extensions you need.
Just heat up the solder side of the motherboard with a small hand held torch
and lift them off. Don't forget to do this OUTSIDE with a respirator on!!
Good Luck

Adding an extra slot to ISA architecture is trivial , sinceQuote:> I was informed that it may be possible to alter the two

1. How to make the 8-bit ISA slots 16-bit on a A2000?
I've got an A2000 and I need more 16-bit ISA slots. Anybody know how
to easily do this with the 8-bit ISA slots?

3. A2000 PC/AT Slots (Can the 2 8-bits go 16-bit?)
7. A-2630 and 16-bit RAM-Expansion (D.Haynie wanted...)
8. trouble with SLIP and US Robotics 14.4 modem
9. Bridgeboard HACK question -- 2 more 16-bit slots?
10. 16-bit audio "expansion/add-on" slot/pins inside A4000?!
11. 16-Bit IBM slot pads in A2x00
12. Amiga 2000 ISA 8-bit to 16-bit
