Ahhh the amiga - I miss mine - I loved creating music tracks in protracker on it and playing games! I'd often throw it into a gym bag and take it to friends houses for gaming nights or simple to mess around on.
I still have a working Commodore 64C model which I recapped. It has a tapuino for the full nostalgic experience (emulates the c2N and thus the 5+ minute load times) as well as a 1541. The computer and disk drive have a jiffydos installed which speed up loading, and for instant gratification I have an easyflash III cartridge.
I traded the Commodore 64 for an amp and speakers (my friend didn't have a sound system but had two commodore 64's, so I said "I have these spare, I cant turn them up here as it'll disturb the neighbours - swap ya for one of your comoodores?"
From the parts in your picture it looks like you have an Add-IDE adapter board that allows you to fit an internal 2.5" ide hdd, I had one of these, an adapter ribbon and a 3.5" hdd sitting on top of the computer inside a box I built, complete with power and activity leds. 80Mb was the drive size and just like the side car, it spooled up like a helicopter engine!
IF its not an AddIDE board, my other guess is the board fits the cpu socket and allows the pi to become the new cpu, providing heaps more performance plus storage on the SD card.
