Expansion pass-trough device

LeCaravage · 16 April 2021, 17:29

Hi,

My configuation : Amiga 500 KS1.3 1Mb Chip + 3.5Mb Fast+ Harddrive

I'm looking an easy solution to plug my harddrive (Oktagon 508 : http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/oktagon500) and an Action Replay 3 at the same time. But my AK3 and HD have no passtrough connector.

So I'm looking for a expansion device which allows to plug 2 devices on expansion port of Amiga. I've found an item on ebay but I'm not sure at all it would fit my need. Any hint if it could work ?

I asked the seller but he couldn't answer me. Here is the link to the device in question :

Thanks

Edit : By the way, what "Matze" means ? I tried google translate but no luck.

Matze is the designer https://www.a1k.org/forum/index.php?members/2351/ That device gives a full ZorroII slot - can't say how it works with AR 3. I did have one of these: https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/b...ct.aspx?id=709

@zipper : Yes the 86 pin expansion adaptor is exactly the type of device I'm looking for. Because I need a simple 1:1 pass through and not a Zorro converter.

Strange, no one seem to construct/sell it, I'm sure a lot of people would be interested, at least the ones with a non autoconfig hardware like the AK3 to add to expansion port.

I suppose the Zorro one would work - just must check the pin configuration if it should be tweaked; A500 86pin is sort of "ZorroI" after all.
