Is this possible?

Very true.
Exploring A500/A500+ HW upgrade limits provide ultimate stress test for both nerves and bank account balance. If one could justify such action, that could mean you have to have  "the thing" for A500 or got lost in wrong platform.

Just a thought from experienced A500-er  :-D
With the thing, of course. :crazy:

Yes, there are perhaps 10 different designs using sidecar IDE on A500...
For instance, I have AlphaPower 500. Had IDE-CF adapter and 128Mb CF working like charm...I've seen decent looking units (as metioned) on eBay...usually no more than 50€...
