Yes, and stuff like the GVP A530 -- 030 CPU & SCSI interface.

No. In the A500+, the most you can put there is a 1MB expansion for chip RAM.

You can hack Zorro and possibly (i.e., it's been done, don't know how) an
A2000 CPU slot onto the edge connector.

HD & accelerator is no problem, as long as you can find the stuff second hand.
GVP did some good combo cards.
Zorro2 is much more difficult. The only pre-made solution, AFAIK, was the
Bodega Bay, and that was last sold around 1990. I've never seen one advertised
for sale.
I'm sure on Aminet there is the details for building your own.
