Help for a noob

[Jamesplease]

Hey guys,

I have an Amiga 1200. I want to add an  8mb accelerator and a 16 GB SD card but I have no idea what I'm doing.

Do I need a compact flash to ide adapter? And if so which one?

 Or do I need a ide cable for CF adapter?

Could anyone give me a step by step break down of what I need to do?

Any help for a noob would be appreciated

Thanks for your reply. I will get that 8mb expansion. Thats helpful.

but you've definitely underestimated my noob-iness. My knowledge of Amiga's is still stuck in 1993. If I have any chance of getting out of the 90's I'll need to be spoon fed. (sad but true)

At this stage I just want to set up a WHDLoad machine but I dont really know which path to take to get there.

so basically:
1) 8mb expansion from Amigastore
2)Amsider+SD adapter
3)buy a SD card

When I wrote the first post I thought a CF card and an SD card were the same thing and that SD just stood for SanDisk.

I just bought a monitor of this dude. Luckily he has offered to copy his image, which has 1000's of games,  to my SD card. That should help a lot.

Would I have to upgrade the roms at all?
