- ISA 8 bit PC Hard Disk Controller for Amiga 2000, 3000, 4000 and Amiga 1000 A1060.
Board with controller, insertion plate, housing for hard disk and cover (originally for a 20MB hard disk)

Both controllers require an hard disk.


Price: € 50 each one
Shipping cost to Italy: € 10
Shipping cost to Europe and worldwide: ask me (it depends from country to country and postcode)

Edit:
Given the 2 male headers along the top edge, this isn't a SCSI interface anyway, but ST-412

Thanks for your details.

The first one was used on Amiga 1000, into the A1060.
The second one was used on Amiga 2000.
At the time the "Genuine parts" from Commodore catalogue was called "Commodore Hard Disk PC 5060", commonly called "PC SCSI Controller".
Here you can see a picture from the Commodore dealer Catalogue at the time.

Ok, so the controller is ST-506, which is similar to ST-412. Definitely not SCSI, no matter what they were called. To avoid confusion, I would therefore remove any reference to "SCSI".

Basically these hardcards were meant for use in any vintage PC-XT with 8-bit ISA slots, including the A1060 Sidecar and the A2000 with bridgeboard. The Janus software allowed for creation of a separate partition, which could be accessed by the Amiga.

Exactly, i didn't understand the "confusion" with SCSI, but I accept your feedback and I'm going to modify title and description.
 
Declaring interest.
Could you please quote me for shipping to the UK for the version used in the 1060?
