@Sax, Unfotunately no. There is no way to add fastmem via the trapdoor on an Amiga 500 or 500+. It needs to be connected to the side expansion slot or directly on the CPU-socket for that to work.
In this case the A314 would also lose some capabilities if the memory was used as fastmem. It would not be possible to do any of the tricks that uses the custom chipset directly, such as the audioplayer, videoplayer and remote-workbench.
But the A314 should be compatible with almost any accelerator or fastmem expansion you can think of, as long as it doesn't mess around with the memory mapping of the computer. I have tested it with Terriblefire TF530 and TF534, while others have had it work correctly using at least Classic 520 and Vampire2 Gold2-core (needs a small patch right now, might be fixed later). The Gold 3 core in Vampire 2 will most likely not work, as I think it then uses only onboard memory and ignores the trapdoor slot.

I was thinking about that the A314 could take some signals from the expansion port so that it has more capabilities and do more. Isn't that possible?
Also there are old memory expansion that used Gary signals to expand to 2.8MB (combination of chip & fast ram)
You mean The A314 needs a patch?

I would say no because it has an A500 expansion header unless there is an adaptor

Maybe it would work if you could find one of these adaptors that the KCS Power PC boards used

This version does not work on the A600 unfortunately, but there is a A600-version in the making. I think the designers of the card have just begun testing it and will probably release the sources for it in the coming months. The A600-version will only work with a Raspberry pi Zero (W) though, since space in the A600-trapdoor is very limited.

Hi timtheloon! If you keep your eyes open I will post a set-up tutorial on my blog soon: http://crowstudio.se/
I have made a brief introduction, nothing really new there, but I felt that I had to made it before the set-up tutorial ;-)
*edit* I just published the setup tutorial for A314: http://crowstudio.se/how-to-setup-your-a314/ I hope it is helpful for you soon-to-be-a-happy-owner of the A314 ;-) *edit*
