I have a Kipper2k 4 MB fastRAM expansion:
http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=1950
My machine a A500+ with 2 MB chipRAM, KS 3.1, and a old side expansion IDE controller without RAM.
The machine too slow, 7 MHz 68000.

I need a ACA500. https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/aca500.html
"Several expansion ports make further expansion possible, while   maintaining compatibility to popular memory expansions that are   installed inside of the A500: Chipram expansion(s) and internal   fastmem/ranger-mem expansions can still be used together with the   ACA500."

The 2 MB fastRAM too little to Whdload. Min. 4 MB OK with 2 MB chipRAM.
The kipper 4 MB RAM $200000-5FFFFF.
ACA500 2 MB RAM address? $200000-3FFFFF?
ACA500 with 2 MB fastRAM + Kipper2k 4 MB fastRAM expansion + 2 MB chipRAM work simultaneously?
Is the ACA, or Kipper RAM address changeable, or not?
ACA500plus and Vampire A500 version not available.

ACA500 work with other CPU socket 2 MB SRAM expansion with A500+ 2 MB chipram, 6 MB RAM OK:

ACA500 RAM C00000-D7FFFF 1,5 MB and 980000-9FFDFF 0,5 MB? 2 MB SRAM 200000-3FFFF7? 2 MB chipRAM (000000-1FFFFF) OK with ACA.

What is the ACA500plus specifications (130 €)? 4 MB RAM? Faster CPU, 25 MHz?
http://www.vesalia.de/e_aca500plus.htm
The ACA500 bad way (A1200 expansion connector).

The Vampire II 128 MB RAM too big, no A500 version.

I did not find ONE card which can be used normally. 2 MB fastRAM too little.
This would be the good system all in 1, side expansion card format, A500:
Fast  68000-68020 (25-50 MHz) CPU, min. 4-8 MB fastRAM, work with A500+ 2 MB chipRAM, sum  6-10 MB RAM possible, fast (min. 4-10 MB/s read with 25-50 MHz CPU, ACA 2 MB/s only) IDE controller with CF card, KS 1.3+3.1, max. 150 €.

A500+ max. 2 MB slow RAM = chipRAM possible. The Agnus 2 MB only.
ACA500 C00000 1,8 MB slow RAM how?

Kipper 4 MB RAM speed? ACA500 2 MB RAM speed?

This right? The kipper card seller said it:
"The aca500 don't work with kipper2k fastram. The aca500 use external cpu and set off the internal cpu, the internal expansion from kipper2k is connected on to internal cpu."

Is the most important problem not the 2+4 MB fastRAM addresses?
If ACA500 = 4 MB fastRAM, then not problem. I would have bought a ACA500 already (no kipper card). 2 MB fastRAM + 2 MB chipRAM too little to WHDload. I tested.

What is the ACA500plus specifications (130 euro)? 4 MB RAM? Faster CPU, 25 MHz?

I do not want to spend much money to the A500+. The ACA500 and ACA500plus card is not cheap.
I do not buy a ACA 1221, etc, or old Blizzard 1230, 1240, 1260 A1200 turbocard, all too expensive.
I buy a A1200 machine, if I want to spend much money.

The cheapest ACA1221 80 €, but 68020 16 MHz and 9 MB only.
https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/aca1221.html
Upgrades: 17 to 28 MHz 15 €, maprom 1 MB 5 €, 9 to 63 MB 22 €. Or around the world (maprom, 28 MHz, 63 MB) 40 €.
https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/aca1221-upgrades.html
ACA500plus 130 €. The best ACA1221 120 €. 120+130=250 € + shipping to A500+? Unreal, 28 MHz 68020 + 63 MB only.

ACA1233/55 68030 55 MHz + 68882 + 128 MB = 360 €.
https://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/ACA12xx.html
ACA1232/50 300 €, out of stock. ACA1233/40 200 €, out of stock.

Does the Whdload system support the ACA, Blizzard cards and the 68020-68060 CPUs with A500+?
They did not write the Amiga programs onto environment like this.

The  whdload system not work with 4 MB kipper card + A500+ 2 MB chipRAM.  15/17 program not work, error messages. Normal WB 3.1 system.
Examples:
Galaga level 17 system crash.
State of the art demo exception illegal instruction. With 2 MB chipRAM only, no problem.
Golden axe Exception "line 1111 emulator" $E02C at $81F50 occured.
Galactic empire start OK, guru 00000001.
Galaxy blast address error $F00C.
Ganymed address error.
Garrison 1-2, system crash.
Gauntlet 2, function resload diskload called with unacceptable arguments.....
Gazza 2, floppy crazy, manual reset, guru 00000003.
Etc.

What is the problem?

I don't know how it is necessary to set the whdload.prefs, and the programs tooltypes, let the programs work well.
I never used the Whdload system. I am a beginner user.
I download this: http://whdload.de/whdload/WHDLoad_18.2_dev.lzx
I copy the C and S folders to my WB 3.1 folders, and ready.
I believed that will work simply with 2+4 MB everything.
This little?
Startup sequence? Other?

WHDLoad_usr_small.lha source on whdload.de?
kick34005.a500 and kick34005.A500.RTB files OK.
I use KS 3.1.
I do not want to fill much time with the settings.
I want to use the programs, not settings, settings....
I download lha file, prefs = my 18.2 prefs, but without ;
