CF adapter bracket for A500 floppy drive location

Does such a thing exist?  The floppy drive location seems like an ideal location for a CF card so it can be easily removed without modding the case.

The snag here is that if you  plug in to the floppy drive connector - you are limited to floppy drive speeds. A CF version of a Gotek isn't going to be quicker than a Gotek, and would be more expensive.

Bit of a non starter I regret. But, if you have WB2.x or higher, you can go CF-IDE adapter on the 68K socket without too many problems.

I mean just physical location.  I would run a ribbon cable over to an ide connector over by the cpu.

A Startech 35BAYCF2IDE or similar is probably your best bet.

thanks
