There is another option you can consider: Bodega Bay for A500

You can then install A2091 SCSI card with 4MB RAM. This can give you HD and CDROM option, all integrated nicely in a case.
Probably more difficult to find then A570.
There is a cheaper way and sort of "hackery", you can use ZORRO adapter that converts A500 ZORRO slot to A2000 type, then you can use A2091 SCSI card for the HD and 25pin external connector for your CD Drive.

How about get the CDTV with SCSI card and HD and some RAM. That could accomplish the same thing. CDTV = A500 with CDROM.
