Is there an EASY way to get a 2.5" IDE HD inside my A1000 yet?

Hi Amiga_Nut
There is one card* that works in an A1000 that adds a 68000 processor running at 33MHz or 40MHz, 8MB of RAM & an on board IDE controller. It’s called the HC533. Per this thread, one guy is using it in his A1000 with no problems. You might want to inquire about A1000 use in the same thread as it is still active. It will autoboot OS1.3 or OS3.1. Will NOT run software requiring a 68020+ processor.  It would allow you to use a 40pin drive or an IDE to CF adapter. It’s basically Plug n Play.

The 40MHz product sold here in the UK….. (does not include an IDE to CF adapter)

The 33MHz product is no longer available. However, if you find out that you can use it in an A1000, you might consider (shameless plug) the one I have for sale in this thread for $140.00 + Shipping + PayPal Fee.

The 40MHz product is selling at $189.99 USD.

Anyhoo, lots to think about there.  If you’re NOT in the US, the product at RETROREADY would be a better choice for availability and price.

*Surprised none of you guys know about this product.
