You will need a SCSI (preferably) or IDE controller (Zorro II). I've got a GVP 2000-HC SCSI controller in my A2000, which autoboots under Kickstart 1.3, but there are a lot more types of cards. Just ask around or look on Ebay.

You can get a 2091 or other similar scsi card on ebay these days for next to nothing. sometimes they even come with a small scsi drive to get you started.
