A500 zorro to Buddha? possible?

Hi,

I bought a couple of Amigas this weekend. I was positively surprised to find a 030 turbo board in one of the A500's i got.

I would love to have an internal IDE harddrive in this A500 and I toyed with the idea to build a Zorro interface and connect a Buddha Z2 card internaly in the A500.

Is this possible? Anyone connected a Buddha card to his homemade Zorro interface on an A500?

Thats nice.

I read a tutorial in Amiga Format about adding a Z2-like slot to an A500.

Is your converter a homemade hack?

whoa..  just what I need! Hope I can find one on ebay!

Thank you!

The ICD solution would be great, but it is probably hard to find :cry:

To bad it is not auto-boot. I am going to ditch the internal floppy drive and run a harddrive there instead.

I want to run the harddrive internal in the A500. I never liked the sideslot expansions for the A500, makes the computer so wide :-/

The Buddha is a relatively cheap alternative compared to getting an old second hand external SCSI A500 harddrive. And then I really like Jens hardware, he seems to make lots of good and cheap products.
