Here are some pictures. Also a very odd little 9 pin plug was in the far right front joystick port, just a 9 pin F encased in small black plastic and a printed label that gives a long serial number.


Sounds like a software dongle.  Required to run a specific piece of expensive software.
The idea was to stop software piracy.

I guess you have a Mega Chip 2M Board attached to your Angus slot (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/megachip) and a Derringer (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/derringer)or simular 68030 card in your 68000 processor slot.
Both of these are under the Powersupply/floppy drive chassis.

Sounds like a top unit.

Should check the condition of the Battery.

I wouldn't worry too much about the 50MB SCSI as is fairly limited for the space it takes up.  You should be able to score a 1GB SCSI somewhere.  IF not go the SCSI reader option as suggested.  Instant 2GB.

Congrats.
