As I understand it, ASDG's hard disk controller is a board level product that
will be offered in both the "zorro" and A2000 board form factors.  I don't know
if he will be offering a hard disk with the board.

The A2000 has mounting points for 3 drives.  Two are 3.5" size, one of which
will normally be occupied by a floppy, and one is 5.25" size, suitable for
either a half-height hard drive or a 5.25" floppy for the PC bridge card.

There is also and external MAC+ SCSI compatible connector on the rear of the
Commodore Hard Disk Controller card for hooking up externally mounted disks.
I don't know if ASDG will have this feature.
