Wasn't there some buzz about an HD-version of the 1581? A mythical
prototype, perhaps, not a real, buy-it-off-the-shelf product. ISTR
some scrambling a while back for "1591 ROMs". AFAIK, it was a
firmware change and a 1/2-speed Amiga-compatible HD floppy drive,
but that's about all the detail I remember.
