I don't know a lot about Amiga or disk drive technology, but I have
a chance to get a hard disk cheap for a friend who has an Amiga 1000.
He doesn't know a lot about hard disks either.

From what I gather, there is a SCSI port on the 1000, or does one need a
controller card to add to the base system?  The system in question has
one internal micro floppy and one external micro floppy, does that mean
it can support a typical SCSI hard disk with no extras?

In short, I can use anything you can tell me about hard disks and Amiga 1000s.
As you can see, I'm at square one here.

Thanks!
Brian Atkins
