Side thingy

Okay, this expansion gave me a SCSI hard drive and 2 megs of RAM. It had NO power cord, my A500 has not been modified in any way. I made the mistake of selling it a couple of years ago. I will search through my paperwork & emails, perhaps I'll find out what it was. If I do, I'll post it for everyone for future reference.

I don't think it can be made by Commodore themselves, or GVP, as both makes were normally always self powered from an extra PSU.

There is the Protar A500HD which works the other way around and its PSU can power the A500.

I'm about to start adding A500 hardware to the new classicamiga Hardware directory that I'm going to be launching this week, so if I find any that are powered via the A500 I will let you know.
