Hello.
Interests me the expansion. I am a retro collector, I live in Hungary. I have a Amiga 500+ with 2 MB chipRAM, KS 1.3+3.1 switcher, etc. The 11,5 MB RAM super to WHDLoad. The expanded A1200 much more expensive. A1200+B1230 250-300 €.
I have questions from the details to the designer and assembling of the product. I did not find these informations. I read through the full topic with translator. I do not speak in Polish. I spoke already in e-mail with Architect1200, but I received few answers. I want to talk everything over before the shopping. I do not want problems after the shopping.

5-- Usable SD card with IDE-SD adaptor? SD card types, speeds, etc.? Is the SD card faster?
6-- How large is the largest usable CF, SD card? Dual IDE-CF adaptor supported (master/slave)? Or single only?

8-- Where is the tested, compatible CF, SD cards, IDE-CF adaptors, side expansion cards, SCSI, IDE controllers, CPU cards, other devices, etc. list?
9-- Where is the supported CF card types list? Type 1, 2, speeds, 233x, 600x, extreme, etc.? Modern ACA500, etc. cards working?
10-- With what kind of configurations did you test the card?
A500 rev. 6A motherboard, 0,5 MB chipRAM.
A500 rev. 6A motherboard, 1 MB chipRAM.
A500+ rev. 8A motherboard, 0,5 MB chipRAM.
A500+ rev. 8A motherboard, 1 MB chipRAM.
A500+ rev. 8A motherboard, 2 MB chipRAM. My machine.
A500 rev. 6A motherboard, 0,5 MB chipRAM, 0,5 MB real trapdoor RAM, card slow RAM off.
CDTV, A2000, A1000 configurations?
11-- With rev. 6A motherboard is the 0,5-1,8 MB trapdoor expansion not usable, if the Savyna card 1,5 MB slow RAM active? Trapdoor RAM start address $C00000.
12-- Is the min. KS 2.05 (or 3.1) needed for the IDE function only? Does the 9,5 MB RAM expansion only without IDE function work with KS 1.3?
