I have a few of these mostly fitted to A2000s. They really are the easiest way to get a hard drive on the A1500/2000 basically cus if you have the double disk drive you wont have the space for a hard drive. They also give the benefit of an SCSI port which can be useful. For me to show this A1500 today I first needed to shift the Amiga 2000HD which was sitting on top of this machine. Useful to check that she was also working. You may recall that the other day I featured the internal hard drive and controller that normally sits in this machine. The card and drive was donated by a very generous Amigan who also gave me the Spirit.... What a guy. One final thought as you view the card and that is I am always reminded of Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie. 1942-43. If you know the work of art you will see he used abstract shapes and colours to reflect the city scape and yellow taxis of New York. For me the RAM Simms here look like towering sky scrapers and the chips the taxis below. I do love the architecture of this card and they are rock solid stable...... Anyway just two machines here and as ever, they are working Amigas. First the A2000HD - Single floppy And now the A1500 double floppy drive running on 3.1 and with a 2.1 Workbench And a very imaginative one at that The A2000-HC8-II SCSI port The Amigas Broadway Boogie Woogie
