You'll have to wait for the next version of the IDE68k which is an internal IDE interface and 8Mbyte RAM card which plugs into the CPU socket.

Other than that, check ebay for a GVP HD8+ they usually sell for about £50

IIRC, there was 2Mb limit on trapdoor expansion
Untrue. 512Kbyte for regular A500 and 1Mbyte for A500+

Quote from: orange;516036
go for A600 with that russian 8Mb..
The preliminary two batches of the A608 have sold out and the third BIG batch is delayed and the developers are nolonger giving status updates (Glad I got mine already)

While they may become available again in the future, you cannot pin your hopes on it.
