I found the article in the .Info magazine I talked about in my prior
message about the A1500 expansion unit for the A500 and thought someone
might be interested, as well as able to provide information.

From .INFO magazine (Feb. 1991)

"There was considerable confusion over two hardware products, one called
the Amiga 1500 and the other A1500... The A1500 is a third-party
expansion system/replacement chassis for the A500.  Unlike Califorinia
Dreams' Bodega Bay system, the A1500 requires taking the A500 apart and
fitting its innards into the new box, which gives it capacity for two
floppy drives or one floppy and one 3.5" hard drive.  It will also
accept A2000-style cards and even has a video slot.  The best part,
though, is that the A1500 provides a separate case for the A500's
keyboard, detaching it from the CPU.  TYhere's also a rack-mount version
of the system available."


Again, any info would be greatly appreciated.
