Realized I have a Zorro II expansion bus on my A1000

[TheGoose]

I always wondered about this big sidecar I have for my A1000. I thought the inside was just memory card slots but no. It's one of these: :-o

SubSystem 1000 & 500          
Company: Pacific Peripherals, USA
Date: 1987
Amiga: A1000, A500
Interface: side expansion port   

    * Zorro II expansion chassis 2× (SubSystem 500) or 3× (SubSystem 1000) Zorro II slots with DMA support
    * 1× 3.5" drive bay for an optional 2nd floppy drive
    * external power supply
    * connects to the side expansion port
    * fits under the Amiga

    * optional RAM card - The Advantage 64 DIP sockets accept up to 2 MB RAM
    * supports 0.5, 1 or 2 MB configurations
    * uses 256k×1 DIPs
    * zero wait states  

I have the 2 MB Advantage card inside. But I don't have the external power supply. Hmmm. Anybody know anything about this thing or the power requirements?

Well, no. It is a big square box, but I'll be posting pics here and for the hardware sites. They want some pics, there was only one I found and it was bad.

I think this one was for the a500 now. It has only 2 slots, not like the 3 supposedly for the A1000.

I'll post back here soon.
