I recently found one of my CD32's in storage with the aim of fitting a TF330.

The TF330 came with an IDE to compact flash card with a short 44pin ribbon.

What I would like to do is fit an ide to sdcard adaptor board instead, with maybe an sd card extendor ribbon.
Anyone with the same combo of cd32 and tf330, did it all work and do you have any recommendations as to what to buy or avoid?

Tia.
 
I've just got my CD32 back, recapped; with a TF060 thingy. I know for normal Amigas (600, 1200 etc). We just ditch the 44 Pin Cable and plug a little L shaped PCB into the port the cable was on, instead. That PCB marries with an SD adaptor (again no cables). There's probably more room in a CD32, I'd be interested too if anyone has done it (i.e. using something like a Rastport KA47 adapter or clone of). Into which you can simply add a £3 SD slot extender. Losing the 44 PIN cable and changing to SD (certainly in A600/A1200 etc) vastly increase reliability and card compatibility.
