What is the capacity of these cards? I remember asking about this years ago and the answer put me off.

 Since fitzsteve mentioned it, are all SATA->IDE adapters compatible with Amigas?

Do you mean in general or do you mean my cards?

All my cards are between 2 and 4gb, which is plenty of storage for a gaming Amiga given each game is 1-2mb :)

 The capacity of your cards can't possibly put me off. :D
I want to know the capacity barrier for these devices. I think it used to be 4GB.

Of course you can buy larger CF's. such as 8gb/16gb, these need a little more skill to setup (patched SCSI device and advanced file system like SFS/PFS3)

 I have done all these already. 16GB is a good start but still too small for me.

In my A1200T & A4000 I have 20 & 40gb HDD's attached to the SCSI via SCSI-IDE conveters.

I don't know about 'all' but most of the el-cheapo adapters on eBay should work fine :)

 This is good to hear.
