I did a couple of these.

Here's a picture of my A1200 with 4GB CF Flash

And here is czarek's CF installation

In the original 1200 "mod" I used a 512MB card.  I've since moved to a 4GB card.  I have also since abandoned the 4000 "mod", mostly due to space issues in the desktop case, but also since my CS MKIII has wide SCSI.

If the Tandem in my 2000 was bootable, I would consider putting a CF drive in the box.

Though, I have a Blizzard 2060 which has (from what I have read) the fastest SCSI interface available for the 2000.  It's narrow, but there's a plethora of 50-68 adapters around.  For that matter, I'm curious to try one of the narrow SCSI to IDE (or SATA) converters -- sure, they're US$70 or so, but aren't hobbies supposed to be expensive?

Hey, Piru... is there a *major* concern over AmigaOS versus the expected life-span of a CF card?
