I have moved on from CF cards to these modules:

I can tell you they are way faster than the ScanDisk CF card I was using.

Another plus is that there is no cable/bracket and physicaly works perfect
with Indivision AGA. Fits great on the A1200 IDE header.

Was recognized by Harddisk Setup fine. I'm using a 2GB module, AOS / Work partitions.

They really do fit great, not too tall, grab on to the ide header pins snug. I will try to send some pics tonight, I've been holding back about my pizza box G1200 mod that uses one of these.

The 44 pin (2.5 in) ones are small. Have a master / slave slider on the top too.

YOU DO NOT WANT THIS ARRANGEMENT:

Ummm, after looking at in again, I'm not sure it will fit in the original case? Maybe?

I put up some pics on my blog - link on the avatar thingy.
