The - MAX - 125 Autoboot Interface Adapter allows you to connect IBM 
compatible hard disk controllers and drives to ALL AMIGA computer systems.

** Works with many 8 and 16 bit XT and AT, ST506/412 & ESDI controllers and
virtually all hard drives of these interface types.

** A2000 version takes only one slot position to handle two controllers when
inserted in the rightmost expansion slot and can be configured as a HardCard
with optional mounting bracket.  Passes the bus for the A500 and A1000.

** Priority selectable booting/mounting of up to four controller boards for
a total of eight hard drives.  Controller types and drive sizes can be
intermixed.

** Compatible with A500/A1000/A2000/A3000, and most CPU coprocessor boards.
Supports all ECS display modes and A3000 cache and burst modes.  Can coexist
with other manufacturers' autobooting controllers.  Fully compatible with
the FastFileSystem and AmigaDOS V1.3 and V2.0.

** Disk data transfer is done with multi-sector (up to 256) blocks at a time
through programmed I/O.  A write-thru track buffer with selectable read
threshold sensing greatly speeds up short file transfers.  Transfer rates
clocked to over 567kb/sec write, 768kb/sec read with 030 CPU. (Faster than
most other hard disk systems).  Supports software & hardware bad track
remapping.

** - MAX - 125  boards are assembled & tested and have a 1 year warranty.
Some assembly and soldering is required.  Specify computer model when
ordering.
