Yes, absolutely. Your amiga cannot tell this isn't a 30 year old SCSI hard drive =] If your SCSI controller is bootable, you're good.

so if I plug this into the side of my Amiga 1000 and use kick1.3 I can autoboot directly into workbench and it'll pick up the extra memory and scsi controller in the attached side cars??

WHUT?  You don't plug the SCSI2SD into the side of your A1000, you have to first have a SCSI controller that's compatible with your A1000, then you plug the SCSI2SD into that.  All it is is a modern replacement for a hard drive, not a miracle product.  ;)

:roflmao:guilty as charged asking for miracles I suppose:biglaugh:

So I can get this as a replacement for my 20 lb original 20MB scsi hard drive then which is working great with my scsi controller and 2 ram expansion side cars right

Yes, SCSI controller required, though :)

ah cool so just have to plug unit into my scsi controller, and I can boot up to WB 1.3.  (Of course I have to backup all the stuff on my old scsi back onto the SD card)

Check the documentation for your SCSI controller.  Many (most) A1000 SCSI controllers aren't going to support 4GB disks.  You'd probably be fine to save yourself the $20 bucks and get the 256MB model, which is still going to be a big jump up from 20MB; unless you have one of the rare A1000 SCSI controllers that can support such large disks.  ;)

hmm I'm pretty sure there'll be a way I can partition the drive to smaller units that WB1.3 can use.  Worse case I can boot into 3.1 but prefer 1.3 for my A1000.  I personally love the sound of the old 'real' drives but I'm gonna get me one of these silent thingies in case the old girl retires one of these years
