A2000 unknown board

loth77 · 31 August 2010, 01:39

before buying it....
what could this board be?

the only thing i know is that is for an A2000
and that seems like a scsi controller...
do you think that on the other side of the board there could be some memory expansion?

thanks

You're right, it's a SCSI controller. The blank area behind the backplane is for mounting a SCSI hard drive to make it a hard card.

The back of the board looks to be almost flush with the table top, so I doubt if there's any provision there for memory expansion.

@loth77

you have an auto-booting SCSI adapter known as the Evolution 2000

Features:

SCSI 2 controller FAS216 controller IC
uses polled I/O, not DMA transfer
autoboot ROM - autoboots even under Kickstart 1.2
supports SCSI direct
does not support the RDB standard
place for a 3.5" hard disk on the card
50 pin internal header
DB25 external SCSI connector
disable switch
no RAM option
A-Max II and Medusa drivers

thanks!
it's funny... i was looking at all the boards on that page but i missed it... maybe the white connector instead of black like in the photo cheated me

seems interesting... too bad has no ram at all and my A2000 has just the factory ram.

Edit:
new game

and what is this??
