im bidding on one of the cards "that has very rare ram sticks" so i have this half brained idea that i could at least use it as is and maybe even try virtual ram with a cf card. ive played with 512, 2gb and 4 gb cards and they work just fine as long as i dont go past the 512 mb partition size. i have yet to be able to use a partition any larger than 512 mb. but again as far as card size it doesnt seem to matter at all.
im using a rear mounted cf card adaptor that fits in an empty card slot and the cf card pokes out the back enough to change it, and then an ide to scsi converter. it seems a lot faster on reading (and booting).
and nothing like keeping an amiga working after all this time. who would have ever thought we would be replacing full height 5 inch 10 meg hard drives that cost 500 bucks with cf card, sd cards,micro sd cards.......
