I. I'm looking to buy a hard drive for my Amiga 500 & I have a few 
   questions:

1) What are the differences in SCSI controllers: C-LTD vs. Supra ?
   
   a) speed?

   b) cost?

   c) bad block handling?

   d) auto-booting under 1.4? with a 14 Mhz 68000 w/ auto-boot ram?
   
   e) any other relevant information

2) Where can I get either/both controllers? How much will it cost?

3) Does anyone have any experience using either controller with a
   Seagate ST277N 65 meg Hard Drive? With any other Seagate SCSI drive?

II. Also I have some other questions:

1) Will an A501 and the 1.4 chip set provide 1 meg of chip ram, or will
   another ram upgrade be neccessary?

2) Will you be able to simultaneously use the new 1008x800 monochrome
   monitor with a 2002/1080/1084?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with,

Ofer Melnik

P.S. If anyone's interested in a 65 meg/40 ms SCSI hard drive for $700,
     complete with case & power supply, write me & I'll tell you where
     you can get one.
