I'm happy to help, but the pic's a bit too
small for me to see the
specifics. If you can get a good scan, and some
info on the connectors and
the IC on board, that would be helpful.
Done! Although the 500 expansion connector and the zorro slot are
well-documented. Now to just figure out what that little IC is...
I noticed it says the passthrough is of limited use
due to the missing
Buster IC. Does that imply there's no
practical point in designing the pro
version?
I'm not sure. The amiga hardware database says that use would be limited...
whatever that means. Maybe for ram expansion only? I'll do some reasearch
and get back to you.
Also, some guys from finland (or was it sweeden?) made this:

I know the circuit board designs are available, so maybe all the work has
been done. I'll ask around the amiga boards and see how much interest there
is.
