Amiga 500 4/8mb fastmem boards with IDE

Dear Kipper2k,

I would like to buy a 8Megs Ram card with CF controller (with CPU adapter) for my A500!
You would be able to write it that how much the total price (card+post costs)?

Thank you for your answer!

Best regards,
Corigon

Declaring interest for an 8mb version with a1000 adapter.

I'd like to run the patched ks1.3!

Regards,
Craig

Don't expect anything soon. (I am just terrible at keeping secrets)

It will accept 12mhz, and 16mhz 68000 and 68010 cpus.

You rule! :)

is it possible to make a patch disk for the amiga 1000 kickstart disk ?

so you should not build in Kickstart 1.3.

I ask as just after fitting this unit I decided I liked the look of the expandable ACA500 and so ordered one up.

:coffee:

The two refuse to work together, presumably because the IDE interfaces conflict or perhaps the fast ram.

Anyone else tried this combination?

Until my Kickstart 3.1 arrives, the ACA500 has the advantage that it includes an inbuilt 3.1 ROM which allows the CF card to boot directly, which is a nice touch. :thumbsup:

I never imagined all these years into the Amiga's life we would have so many opportunities to add new and exciting hardware to our 500s, for years mine's sat, yellowing, collecting dust, and now, all of a sudden we have new ways to bring them up to date and make them more flexible. I'm spoilt for choice! :roll:

Using them both together would only work when you use the CDTV CPLD and don't enable the fastmem. Problem with the ACA500 is only the 2mb fastmem which is eaten up by enabling the AUX CF card and shadow rom. I do like it though for writing ADF's from the CF aux card to floppy, that is handy. By manually adding the fastmem, if you unplug the aca500 you can always get your 8mb fastmem back without opening up your a500

Will one of your fast men cards 4mb or 8mb work in conjunction with the aca500 card?

Please add me for one 8mb board :)

Interest withdrawn, I have found what I needed elsewhere.
