Didnt the A4000 desktop (case = ugly slab of badly designed stuff) have only 4
slots? One of them in line with the video slot (which meant that you lost a
Zorro slot if using the video slot) and two in line with ISA slots (which were
not active until using a bridgeboard) ?
And the A2000 if I remember correctly had 5 Zorro2 slots, a CPU slot, a video
slot, 4 ISA slots (2 which were in line with two Zorro slots).

The A4000 was really a great big muckup as far as the case design and layout
goes. Wasn't it originally a design for a lowcost PC-clone that Commodore
scrapped but the guy who did hit had some clout and got it used for the A4000?
Bastard.

Now the A3000 - thats the best looking desktop computer I have seen ;-)
