Upgrading Amiga1500 but concerned about hardware conflicts

[swarfendor437]

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can assist! I have an Amiga 1500 which I have brought out of its mothball suit and was considering purchasing a zz9000 board (Zorro II slot version).
However, I have an Oktagon2008 SCSI controller, with a 1 Gb SCSI hard drive and 4 Mb Zip RAM. Is there likely to be an issue accessing the Hard Drive if I were to purchase a zz9000?
Thanks for any help forthcoming on this issue.

Hi TribbleSmasher, Thanks for the quick response (I am still awaiting moderator approval from English Amiga Board and stumbled on this forum. I don't want to flash anything if it can be avoided!

Hi Thomas,
This is very useful information. The ZZ9000 is a graphics card with Picasso Graphic support and comes with two ARM Cores and 1 Gb of DDR3 Memory! The only other thing to point out is that I did upgrade the ROM chip that upgraded Workbench from 2.0 to 3.1. Interestingly the Kickstart ROM installation guide stated I would have to bend one of the ROM prongs up, but I didn't have to and had no issues installing Workbench 3.1. In order for the zz9000 to work properly, will I need to install Amiga Workbench 4.0? I don't have a SCSI CD-ROM drive and have seen some advertised on eBay - but Optical drives tend to fail at some point - is there any supplier of new(er) SCSI CD-ROM drives?
