what's in?:
Slots are suited for towered A1200 Amigas. It incorporates 5 slots of
Zorro II standard, two clock port connectors and optional video slot.
What's more interesting is the fact, there are also two Zorro IV slots
on the E/Box Zorro. Zorro IV will enable usage of new cards. According
to info from Elbox, new graphics card at very interesting price ratio
should be available soon, and will enable connection of standard Amiga
input (scandoubler), so the problems with connecting two outputs to
monitor will not bother you further. E/Box slots are something like
ATEOBus, just solved in the better way, and will enable also direct
transfers from turboboard to card connected to E/BOX. The transfer
should lay somewhere between 15-16 MB/s.

is developed once again under Carl Sassenrath's direction, in oposite to
version 1.x. If you would like to know, what's planned for new 2.x
