FOR SALE AMIGA 500 EXPANSION SYSTEM – SUBSYSTEM 500 – Goes Underneath Amiga – Only 1.5" High – Accepts A2000/Zorro II cards – Includes Extra 3.5" Floppy Mounts on front, right under CPU. Easy Access! – Has Expansion Bus Passthrough – Uses its own Heavy-Duty Power Supply (Included) Doesn't bog-down the weak A500 power supply for the cards or the 2nd floppy – computer runs more reliably! – Supports Bridgeboard, Memory Cards, Accelerators (some), Hard Disk Controllers (some, including Pacific Peripherals Overdrive, Commodore A2090/A2090a, Microbotics Hardframe <?>), multiport cards, etc. I WILL THROW IN: COMMODORE A2090 HARD DISK CONTROLLER – Supports up to 7 SCSI, 2 MFM (IBM PC) Hard Drives – Does NOT Support Autoboot (You can pass control from the floppy in about 15 seconds with the right startup-sequence) – DMA operation – All in VERY GOOD Condition – Asking $275/BO for ALL I have added an LED to the front of the system that can be used as a hard drive activity light. The only potential problems with this is that certain SCSI controllers don't work with it (Supra and ICD for example) and I think the Commodore HD controller software disk may be corrupted (I haven't used it in a while). Otherwise, this expansion chassis works real nice. Saves space. Philip pk@wet.uucp {well,hoptoad}!wet!pk CIS: 73027,2354 415-759-1350
