Wow! Kipper2K is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
But wait, can u really plug all that stuff into an A500 and it works?
 
1. A500
2. A500 CPU Adapter.
3. 8MB RAM Expansion
4. IDE68K
 
All that ? Has anyone done it?
 
And could u also add one of his CF Adapter cards to that if you wanted?
(A normal hard drive is good for me but some ppl want CF cards.)
 
Also, does all that stuff work in an A2000? Does Kipper2K have an A2000?
 
Actually my A2000 already has 9MB in it so I would not want the memory expander board. And its an A2000 so I would not need the cpu adapter right? I could just plug in the IDE68k and go, right? If only I knew how to solder :(

According to Mika Leinonen:
 
"V402 shoud fit, at least with a riser socket. (Riser might be needed, if

Perhaps you (I :) ?) should buy this thing:
http://www.kupindo.com/Kontroleri/11472345_Adapter-CF-na-IDE-3-5-
 
And skip the suscpicious adapter.

I like that.
If I can find a US supplier I may have to buy one for my Quicksilver.
It would allow me to boot morphOS then immediately switch to an SCSI drive.
 
Plus it plugs directly into the motherboard.
They only problem is the need to use a floppy to molex power adapter.
