Hi.
Can someone guide me to a Zorro slot Amiga500 "sidecar" IDE adaptor, wich will boot with an Kickrom 2 (37.300/37.350).

I am looking for one to buy (in the near future) from EU, that are able to run with the IDE code that are in the 2.0 kickrom.

The reason for me saying EU, are that there will be put a lot of import charges and vatt from goods, bought outside of the EU, if the item price is higher than 13 US Dollars. (That is sadly the thing with the Danish state)
Most sidecar controllers are just rebranded zorroII equivalent controllers. Most are also made in some form of A2000 controller as well.

And they are rare as hell nowdays

If you really want, specifically, an A500 sidecar for IDE devices (and not something newer like an ACA500 or Vampire, or one of the Kipper boards from a couple years ago), try posting a "wanted" ad on a forum such as Amibay.  I would check somewhere like the Amiga Hardware Database website or BBOAH and look for the specific item that meets your needs, and ask for it there.  Chances are someone may still have one collecting dust somewhere.  Good luck!  :)
Budha would be the best option for IDE, INMHO
Assuming he has a sidecar

It is not a zorro based ide.
But since those are scarce at best. this might be a decent alternative. At least it will provide you with autoboot IDE in an A500 sidecar....

This has been my solution for IDE on Zorro....................................++
That is a really nice setup
Clean and simple
Though it is exposed, i like my equipment hidden away in a box of some sort. i have cats in house and a todler whose have no problems tinkering or even chewing at exposed boards or electronic components

I cant wait to get my cold- sweating hands on a an amy dreamclone, if they become available to public :D

This is my AmiDreamClone... if this never materializes I think it will be (IMHO) the let down of the century. :(
