I have the MechWare reader on mine, and it works great.  I think he said he would be getting another shipment in soon.  You could email him and see.  I have 6 of them.  Not sure on the power supply from the A500, as I got lucky, and mine came with a good power supply.

You can't go wrong with Mechy, he is great to buy from, participates in the forum, and offers tech support as well.  I have bought from him several times, and only had great experiences.  I highly recommend the SCSI reader he has.  Very easy to change to different OSes, just pop out the CF and put another one in.  If you have a USB reader for your PC, or a built in reader, you can do it all in WinUAE, then just plug it in the real Amiga.  Makes it very easy.  Also, with the GVP, it has excellent LUN support, unlike the A2091, which takes a while to boot, if you use the CF slot instead of the PCMCIA slot with the adapter.  With the GVP, you can use the CF slot, and it scans them in less than a second, and starts booting.  Good luck.
