WTB: Hard Drive Controller for A1500 / A2000
« on: August 03, 2013, 10:23:50 PM »
I just managed to resurrect a battery damaged A1500. Now that it's working I'd like to upgrade it.
 
First on my list is a Hard Drive controller card. If anyone has one (and can/will post to the UK), please let me know.
 
Thank you :-)

I like GVP, BUT at the same time, it's easier for me to get IDE drives...

What about this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360712382074

That one's a bit too expensive. I have a couple of cheaper options that I am watching on eBay and will bid on nearer the time if I don't get anything sooner...

How about the IDE68K project? Mine work pretty well and they are the first revision.

That looks interesting. Does anyone on here sell the boards?

It is a complete kit with all you need to run your system, not only a host-adapter. But anyway if you have better options you are a lucky man :)

I wouldn't say I have "better" options, just options that suit my budget a bit more

IMHO get the GVP. For speed, compatibility, blah blah, it's tough to beat. And SCSI drives are cheap on ebay all day long. ;)

OK, quick question - what's better (if any) between the A2000 and A4000 HC8+ cards, or is it just the difference in chipset?
