Any information on this drive would be greatly I think ICD sells the 20 meg for $630. They are also planning a 60 meg. The controller sells for $120 mail order. For an A500, get the AdIDE 44 pin version. A2000 can use 40 or 44 pin. The 44 pin version connects to a 40 pin IDE drive with the ICD adaptor, or an IDE 44 pin without the special adapter. The A500 version costs $20 more than the A2000 version because it also comes with the plastic feat, heat sheild, and brackets. > >No, SCSI does not pass throught - it's not a SCSI drive, it's an >IDE drive connected to ICD's AdIDE.
