- ST506/412 or SCSI controller
- A.L.F. 2 is a general hard disk driver software with 16 different hardware versions based on it
- supports processor cards and does some optimizations for the better processors
- handles drives up to 1 GB only
- Model 1:
- only ST506/412, either MFM or RLL
- cannot autoboot - by making the driver reset resistent, rebooting off hard disk is possible
- the Zorro II version is half length (only a Zorro - XT adaptor board), the metal hard disk mounting frame is optional
- Model 2:
- ST506/412 (either MFM or RLL) or SCSI
- autoboot ROM - autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
- the Zorro II version is full length and has place for mounting a 3.5" hard disk
- if a Model 1 and a Model 2 controller are installed in one Amiga at once, the Model 2 controls the Model 1 (autobooting is possible on both controllers)
- the 16 versions of A.L.F. 2:
- A2000 MFM - Model 1 & 2
- A2000 RLL - Model 1 & 2
- A2000 SCSI - only Model 2
- A500 MFM (without casing) - only Model 1
- A500 MFM (with casing) - Model 1 & 2
- A500 RLL (without casing) - only Model 1
- A500 RLL (with casing) - Model 1 & 2

- A1000 MFM (with casing) - only Model 1
- A1000 RLL (without casing) - only Model 1
- A1000 RLL (with casing) - only Model 1
- the A500 and A1000 versions connect to the side expansion port

- Apple Macintosh emulation
- allows emulating virtually any computer
- all it needs is a simple software driver and ROM(s) from the computer to be emulated
- all timers, interrupts, clocks are handled on hardware level
- support for custom EPROMs, static RAM, and SIMM modules for any methods of storing computer OS
- four empty 32 pin ROM / RAM sockets for OSs stored in DIP format (like 128 kB Mac ROMs) and a ROM SIMM socket
- Macintosh emulation
- uses the same standard serial IC as Macs
- AppleTalk is fully supported via two optional 8 pin mini-DIN serial ports, (230400 bps normally, 921600 bps between two Emplants via AppleTalk, 460800 bps when connected to a Doubletalk board) - Appletalk printer / network support
- optional autobooting SCSI controller (NCR 53C80) - pseudo DMA transfers up to 1.1 MB/s (not necessary if the Amiga has SCSI already)
- serial and SCSI can be used on the Amiga side independently or simultaneously
- optional hardware (Sybil - two passthrough connectors: one plugs into RGB, other into parallel) to handle 800 kB Mac floppy disks
- Sybil operates by changing the clock speed of the Amiga's custom chips to match the different data rates of Mac formatted disks (the video display gets very distorted because of this)
- Sybil can be disabled with a switch
- optional e586 module
- the SCSI controller is supported by NetBSD and OpenBSD

- 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
