This would have been in docs dating from 1984 through 1986 at the latest.
When the German A2000 designs came back, _that_ was the first Zorro II
implementation - PC-form-factor cards.

I have personally seen a Zorro I expansion box. It was stolen from the
Ohio State University Physics Demonstration Department days after it
arrived (by a student employee who was later nailed for the break-in
and theft). I know it had a memory card (2Mb IIRC) and it might have
had a SCSI card, but I'm not positive about that. It has been more than
15 years, so I do not remember the brand name.

If I happen to run across any ads in ancient Amiga World magazines, I will
see about scanning one.
