- does not use DMA transfer - no CPU time when accessing SCSI devices
- may be inserted or removed without rebooting or switching off the Amiga
- no automount and autoboot capability - requires a boot disk
- 50 pin Centronics SCSI connector

- NCR 53CF94 controller IC
- autoboot ROM (ematscsi.device)
- 50 pin internal SCSI header
- optional external SCSI adaptor - 50 pin micro-D connector
- notes
- battery backed up clock
- installing the external SCSI adaptor does not require opening the A1200's case
- very cheap
- was sold as Typhoon in the UK
- Taifun Lite
- partly no onboard RAM
- no SCSI controller
- even more cheap

Company Memory and Storage Technology, Australia | Date 1989 | Amiga any Amiga | Interface parallel port |
- SCSI adapter
- converts the parallel port signals to SCSI signals
- connects to the parallel port and provides a DB25 SCSI connector - the parallel port is passed through
- very slow - the parallel port limits the data transfer
- cannot autoboot
- place for a 3.5" hard disk inside the case
- DIP switches for write protection, automatic power-on and SCSI address
- does not work with processor cards with 32 bit RAM or CPU caches turned on - turning them off is sufficent
