This is one of my 500s with an internal hard drive

And the sidecar is probably your best option

What did you use to put intenal hard drive as shown on the second link? Is the hard disk bootable?

[freqmax]

I wonder how that drive is attached to the motherboard..?
(without short curcuiting something in that tight space)

Drive controller?, scsi?

This is one example:

Why is this "incompatible with Western Digital and IBM hard disks" ..?, and how is the drive physically attached to the motherboard?, it's all metal and that can short circuit..

Interesting one this cus a guy was selling an A500 on Ebay claining it to be an A1200. I was so suspiscious that I won the bid and when I cracked the 500 inside was a Viper 520 CD Interface. Which really was a brilliant find.

For my gaming uses I have the Checkmate or a GVP sidecar on the 500 given that internal cards like this are quite rare for the 500

And that GVP looks like this...
