The HxC allows booting ADF images from SD.
The ACA500 allows booting a hard drive from CF.

Is there any device that can do both?

I have a number of obscure games not supported by WHDLoad, but I also want to restore my old hard disk backup to flash card.

My best bet right now is to put a Raspberry Pi in a dead Amiga's case and do it all through emulation.
Thanks!

Please see link in my post above. I need a device that can emulate floppy and hard disks all in one. I'm not clear what you mean when you refer to "both connected at the same time".
Thanks!

I'd be happy with either option. Expand an Amiga, or use a standalone device. The only exception is I'd want to put the Minimig inside a dead Amiga 500 case. Let's continue at the other thread, as I'm being told there that the Minimig can't support the A500 keyboard :-(
Thanks!
