I'm planning to purchase a SCSI host interface for my Amiga 1000 and
don't which is the best.  I already have a StarBoard II with 2M RAM
and MFM w/ 68881.  Is it true that I have to remove the MFM if I want
to add the SCSI module to the SBII?

Also, I'm thinking about whether to use the Supra interface or the
CLtd interface.  Could somebody please post the pros and cons of the
interfaces?  And, is it possible to replace the HD inside the 
original Supra / CLtd HD housing when I decide to upgrade to a
better SCSI HD?

I know the power supply of A1000 is better than that of A500, but
do I need an external power supply for the HD?  There are people
selling HD housing w/ power supply for $79, has anyone tried those
out?

Thanks!
