- processor
- 68040 @ 28 MHz (clocked asynchronously to the A2000 motherboard)
- memory
- eight 30 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 32 MB RAM
- takes 1 or 4 MB SIMMs, 80 ns or faster
- accepts SIMMs in groups of four giving 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB configurations
- not autoconfiguring - requires software
- does not give contiguous 32 bit RAM, it separates 2 MB as 16 bit RAM - RomTagMem is required to make it all 32 bit and contiguous
- up to 8 MB RAM can be configured in the 68000 address space (2, 4 or 8 MB) - access is slower to this RAM
- burst RAM access

- processor
- 68060 @ 50 MHz or 68040 @ 33 / 40 MHz
- can be ordered with no CPU or with a new or a recycled 68060
- memory
- four 72 pin SIMM sockets accept 128 MB RAM
- four 64 pin GVP SIMM sockets for backward compatibility
- the 72 pin sockets support 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB SIMMs, the GVP sockets support 4 or 16 MB SIMMs
- each 64 pin slot is linked directly to a 72 pin one - only one of them can be used at the same time
- cannot mix 4 or 16 MB GVP SIMMs
- cannot mix single or double sided 72 pin SIMMs
- a double sided 72 pin SIMM rules out two GVP SIMM sockets
- supports burst RAM access when SIMMs are installed in pairs
- selectable RAM access speed 60-80 ns
- Fast SCSI 2 controller
- 10 MB/s max transfer speed
- 50 pin internal header
- 50 pin external high density connector
- optional 3.5" hard disk mounting kit
- active SCSI termination can be disabled with jumper
- the tekscsi2.device is not NSD compliant, it autoboots FFS partitions only - it looks for filesystems in the Kickstart ROM, but it does not care about filesystems loaded into the RDB area
- notes
- 68000 fallback mode with access to the SCSI controller and memory expansion

- processor
- 68040 @ 28 / 33 MHz
- memory
- sixteen 30 pin SIMM sockets accept 64 MB RAM
- supports 1 or 4 MB SIMMs 60-80 ns
- accepts SIMMs in groups of four
- not all of the memory is autoconfigured - requires software
- SCSI 2 controller
- 53C710 controller IC
- 50 pin internal header
- DB25 external connector
- mounting bracket for attaching a 3.5" hard drive to the back of the card
- badly written SCSI driver steals all the CPU time when accessing the devices
- supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD
- notes
- at least one group of four SIMMs must be installed in order to use the card
- in 68000 fallback mode the autoconfig memory is still useable, it just becomes 16 bit
- it's not advised to set more than 2 MB to be autoconfigured
