I remember the early ones coming with 40MB drives, and the later ones with 52's as standard. At the time the 52's came out, the 105's were an option. If my dusty memory serves, the 40's were full height 3.5" drives mounted in the second floppy bay. The 52's were mounted to the 2091 controller. I don't recall seeing the 2090 MFM card, or if there was an 'official' 2000HD that used it.

I have a 2090 and an MFM HD if anyone wants to add this lovely pair to their Amiga collection  :)


Not me ;-) I was just looking thru my Amiga zine scans.. seems the first reference to an official 2000HD used the 2090 and a 40MB drive. I guess they showed a 2094 controller with both MFM and SCSI... but i don't recall ever seeing one in the real world.
