Thanks folks,
:afro:
From the last replies it seems that I have to go for a CF-IDE, so at least I know what I can order from ebay. Would be great if I get further replies re other points namely 2 and (3) and 5.
I hope I will soon get back to some challenging music ripping as the old 199x days.
well here goes, but I don't think you'll like the replies:
2) there is no much point in using (analogue) USB PC joystick in Amiga, as most games are made for 'digital' joystick. if you referred to competition pro USB, you should simply hack it and connect standard 9pin connector.
3) you can't use IDE device on SCSI host adapter without an expensive adapter. it has been discussed here a lot, search for 'acard'.
5) yeah, you need maxtransfer set correctly "0x1FE00". I never had problems with CF, but used only sandisk so far.
