Would anyone like to volunteer info on HD's and SCSI'S for the 500. Likes,
dislikes, problems. 40 meg is adequate for my personal use. If this is
wasting bandwith then then tips on where to find info will do.
Thanks,

Look for the AD-IDE controller, available any day now. A 40meg drive package sells for $460, with transfer speeds around 500kb/s, which is very common. Best of all, it fits internally on the Amiga 500 without using up the internal expansion slot or the floppy drive bay. By the way, with all of the new Amiga newsgroups and the soon to be cancellation of this one, I was wondering why I only get one of the new newsgroups (csa.hardware).

I'd reccomend an ALF-2 system. I have the version for the A1000, and it's VERY fast (400+ K/sec with a 65ms Seagate) and reasonably priced (case and everything else for $630 US (63 meg drive installed). The installation software has NO equal at all. It's easier than the Supra by far, and I own a Supra controller too... I cannot begin to say good things about it. The service is also excellent, I broke a cable and they had a replacement to me within 10 days.
