2x angled IDE to CF adaptors arrived at home (France.. not yet in Australia :p ).
All good mate !
Positive feedback left. :thumbsup:
(sorry for the delay : I was looking for Amibay user manual !)
I have only adapters with straight connector left for sale (a few, v401). Local sources were out of of right angle connectors, would need to mail order them. I don't know if it makes a difference in case of A500.Quote:

You have to make 2 connections to the main board.
Here is a link to fitting instructions

Expressing interest in ide adapter and ps/2 mouse adapter. Sending PM.
Are the adapters with the fast memory still available?
What issues are there running them in an A500+ or A2000?
Hi. I haven't made adapters with fast mem.Quote:

Also you need a KS-ROM with the ide driver for Amiga 600. Such as KS3.1 V40.063 or KS2.05 V37.350Quote:

I installed my ide68k a couple of days ago and have finally got to test it :-)
Once I had got kickstart 37.300 installed it autodetected my ide to compact flash drive.
Even with the oldest kickstart with hard disk support and drive size limits I have managed to get 2x500mb drives installed and working.
The v401 adapter is amazing.
All I need now is a 4mb cpu expansion from tom :-)
I will be posting pictures etc of my a500 project soon.
