Yes, but was there really any software which made use of this technology? Also the A560 connected to the side of the A500 which meant that a hard disk could not be connected; in other words the software to use this device would have had to be loaded from disks ... or!?
Commodore's TCP/IP stack had support for it, and the A560 had an auto-boot ROM so you could boot off of the network.
Also keep in mind that hard disks weren't exactly cheap back in the day.
