- Hi,
-
- I've got an M-TEC controller on my A500, and its working quite happily!
-
- My system has a Conner 540MB hard drive and 4 megs of ram.
-
- The specs of the controller are as follows :-
-
- Space for a 3.5" drive mechanism
- 4 30 pin SIMM slots for 1, 2, 4, or 8 megabytes of RAM expansion
- Space for a replacement Kickstart chip
- Fully autoconfig, no drivers needed for Kickstart 2+
-
- BTW, there is a 2.5" port as well, but I'm not sure if *two* devices can be
- connected to this controller at once....
-
- I bought mine from Power Computing in the UK. Not sure who else distributes
- this controller.....
-
- The only problem I had with this device was that it would not boot when I used
- it with my Supra RAM board. It didn't like the Supra's thru-port.
-
- Hope that helps!
-
- Madhu.
