Description
Overview
The Oktagon 2008 is a highly sought-after SCSI-2 controller card manufactured by BSC (Alfadata) designed for Amiga computers equipped with a Zorro II expansion bus — including the Amiga 2000, 3000, and 4000 series. Released in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this card allowed Amiga enthusiasts to connect SCSI hard drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, and other SCSI peripherals directly to their machines, dramatically expanding storage and device capabilities. It remains a prized piece of Amiga hardware and is increasingly difficult to find in working condition.
