With a Harddrive. No it isn't KS 1.3 or 1.2.1 or whatever it is. Its the Comspec SCSI controller... Made in jolly ol Canada. (Eh.... ) One of the guys in the User Group here in town has had one for 6 months or so, and has ZIP problems with it. its DMA, autoboots the system from powerup through Kickstart, to workbench to startup sequence execution. Its MUCHO fast. Until just a short time ago, you could only purchase the harddrive/controllor combination. I called them last week, and they are selling the controllers separately now. their phone number is (In Toronto.... 1 416 785 3553 ) ask for Amiga products info... note, I have NOTHING to do with Comspec.... i am passing on info.
