1/2 Length SCSI/IDE+Ram (Buy or Trade)

[joekster]

I finally got a zorro-2 expansion chasis for my a1000, but it only takes 1/2 length cards, rrrrr...

So, looking for a drive controller with ram expansion. Some that come to mind would be a dataflyer or an ivs grandslam.

some ivs scsi cards were short,and also a buddha,buddha flash would probabaly do,its tiny.

I believe I have an AdSCSI which is half-length.  Mine, in fact, is missing the extension bracket.  I do not think this card can hold RAM, however.

I'm working on a Dataflyer Plus SCSI card today in fact! Need to solder in a 4.7kohm resistor for the reset line and should be good to go. BTW: the Dataflyer Plus card pictured below came in several flavors: SCSI only, IDE only and SCSI + IDE.

This particular SCSI card also works with any Amiga, but sadly, it has no RAM. Will be nice inside my Dataflyer case that already has 2mb of RAM though.  

Still on the fence about maintaining such expansions on an A1000 though, so the cage, RAM and SCSI card may all be up for sale or trade someday as I either stick with floppies on this system or seek out an internal (or much smaller) hard drive solution.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I would really, really like to have some ram as well as the hard drive... a 512k a1000 is going to be limiting. If I can't find anything, I guess I'll go with just the scsi controller - better than nothing!

That escort2 looks real nice, if you ever feel the need to get rid of it, let me know.
