- A.L.F. 2 is a general hard disk driver software with 16 different hardware versions based on it
 - supports processor cards and does some optimizations for the better processors
 - handles drives up to 1 GB only
 - Model 1:
- only ST506/412, either MFM or RLL
 - cannot autoboot – by making the driver reset resistent, rebooting off hard disk is possible
 - the Zorro II version is half length (only a Zorro – XT adaptor board), the metal hard disk mounting frame is optional
 
 - Model 2:
- ST506/412 (either MFM or RLL) or SCSI
 - autoboot ROM – autobooting requires at least Kickstart 1.3
 - the Zorro II version is full length and has place for mounting a 3.5″ hard disk
 
 - if a Model 1 and a Model 2 controller are installed in one Amiga at once, the Model 2 controls the Model 1 (autobooting is possible on both controllers)
 - the 16 versions of A.L.F. 2:
- A2000 MFM – Model 1 & 2
 - A2000 RLL – Model 1 & 2
 - A2000 SCSI – only Model 2
 - A500 MFM (without casing) – only Model 1
 - A500 MFM (with casing) – Model 1 & 2
 - A500 RLL (without casing) – only Model 1
 - A500 RLL (with casing) – Model 1 & 2
 - A500 SCSI (with casing) – only Model 2
 - A1000 MFM (without casing) – only Model 1
 - A1000 MFM (with casing) – only Model 1
 - A1000 RLL (without casing) – only Model 1
 - A1000 RLL (with casing) – only Model 1
