I've got one, mines the one in the Big Book of Amiga Hardware. There are only 2 Zorro 1 slots, which are Zorro 2 compatable. The one board is a hard drive controller and the  other is a Ram card. It will take any half length zorro card, so you could put whatever you wanted in it. The original drive controller is not autoboot and requires special startup sequence. It's heavy and the $40-$70 dollar shipping charge seems right.

Oops, your correct, it's an MFM controller and drive. Been awhile since I looked at it.

I'll try to get better pictures to BBAH during my Christmas break.

Yep, I've got a half length Supra SCSI card for it and it fits perfectly, without the rails of course.

Probably, the 1000 has a Kickstart switcher in it with 1.3 and 2.0 on it. I can gut a 3.1 rom from my 2000 and get it up to 3.9 :-D

3.9 needs an accelerator? It's been so long since I had an un-accelerated Amiga I can't remember. Oh well, it's only money  :-)
