So what you are trying to tell me is, that it would indeed be IMPOSSIBLE to fit an external sd/ff in my A1200T due to space taken up by the power flyer - is there nothing else i can do, like modify the board or something? Looks as though its external sd/ff for me then. How much as these (the cheapest). Thanks for the replies by the way.
INTERNAL Scan Magic by DCE for A1200/A4000 (or Flicker Magic, there's a few names for the same device) cannot be installed in any A1200 setup (desktop or tower) if the Power Flyer is present, because one takes up space for the other and vice versa. They use totaly different chips for their clip-on modules however due to the size of the PowerFlyer's Gayle clip-on module there is not enough space for the Scan Magic's Alice clip-on module to be installed.
I am not sure whether it is possible or not to trim down a little the Power Flyer's Gayle module, but I wouldn't recommend it.
If I were you I'd get an external SD/FF and be done with it. You will be able to use it on other Amigas, too. Another option is to go for CV64/3D's SD/FF expansion, or for Picasso IV ZII/ZIII card which has a built-in passthrough for native modes and is also a SD/FF, however I'm not sure if it works with Zorro hacks for A1200 as well as it does for the real ZII/ZIII busboards.
