I have an Apollo 040/40 card for my A1200. I read in an old CU Amiga that some come with SCSI onboard, and if not it'll need to be sent to the manufacturers to be soldered on. Is this true (I am competent with a soldering iron, but I certainly wouldn't attempt THIS myself!)
The Apollo scsi controller is totally useless! Avoid at all costs.
It is incompatible with newer harddrives, incompatible with OS3.5/3.9 (partially that is, it will boot, but as soon as you try to mount a cdrom or something else, it crashes), and has no DMA, which means it's a cpu hog. A powerflyer is better than the apollo scsi.
Repeat: The apollo scsi controller is a total waste of money (no matter how cheap it is) and will only cause headaches.
This goes for all apollo accellerator scsi controllers for A1200, A2000 and A3/4000.
