You'd look around in Germany. I think half of the A2000 harddisk run
with a wedge-type controller. It's just cheaper and easier to build.
Maybe since 8-10 weeks, the A2000 owners convert to SCSI controllers but
the only thing before was this 'wedge'.
I still remember the trouble when there was a short of the OMTI5527
controllers that were used for the 'wedge'.
