Amiga ACA500 is awesome!

I Totally agree, the ACA500 is a godsend for the A500

I wrote a review for my Blog here:

Your Blizzard might well work with it, mine (1230mkiv) doesn't sadly but many others have success with theirs, even 1240's and 1260's!  It seems to depend on the A500.  (1240/1260 need a special firmware on the ACA500 & 060 needs a hacked 060 library)

Which Blizzard do you have?

Okay, somebody needs to try it with a Bvision.  

BPPC has been tried AFAIK, does not work.

I know it has both 3.1 and 1.3 roms but does it boots 1.3 WB from cf?

Yep, IDE device is in the ACA500 firmware so you're good to go even WB1.3 in KS1.3

Oh and it also supports larger than 4gb CF's if a file system like PFS3/SFS is used

FYI.
The left CF connector (Aux) accept CF cards formatted PC or AMIGA.
The right CF connector (Boot) accept CF cards formatted AMIGA only.

Indeed and you can also boot from the AUX CF from a FAT32 CF card which is pretty cool!
