Hard disk package for A2000 (or A500/A1000 with Zorro expansion box):

   A2090 disk controller (handles 2 ST506 drives, 7 SCSI devices)
   Seagate ST251 40MB drive (5.25" 1/2 ht, fits in A2000 disk bay)

Both for $300 + shipping.

Prices new were $360 for the drive, $309 for the controller, but that's
my problem, isn't it?  Equivalent new hardware today would be something
like $250 for the drive, plus $225 for a controller, or about $475 total.

They have been used quite reliably for a few years on my A2000, first
as the only hard disk, then as a secondary hard drive system for storing
images and animations.  Now I have no need for them, and would like to
help someone else move up from a floppy-only A2000 system.

This controller does not autoboot (you still have to boot from a floppy
disk), but I'll ship it ready to plug-n-play, with a boot floppy which
immediately transfers control over to the hard disk (no big deal, I know,
but it is if you have to do it yourself for the first time).

Send email, or call my answering machine at (415) 747-0786.

-Eric
