Building, Modifying and Testing a Zorro 2 side car adapter for the Amiga 500 CRG-2 2024-10-01 | Another mini build this time in a flavour of a Zorro II expansion card for the Amiga 500. Designed by Matthias Heinrichs back in 2015, I have a very specific use for this expansion although that will be a later video but for now I needed it built so lets do that. Inspiration for this build comes from @GadgetUK164 who put one together last year.
