I'm a proud owner of an NTSC A500+ upgraded to 2MB chip ram and an internal E-Matrix 530 accelerator, internal 40GB 2.5" IDE hard drive, and soon to be added internal slim-line CD-R drive. :-D

One question...you managed to install 2 MB CHIP RAM (which to me is not really that much of a priority), but then you installed an internal E-Matrix 530 accelerator which is awesome...and I knew it...you can install a 2.5" IDE HD and you installed that 40 GB inside of it...which is again super awesome...and you are even going as far as installing an internal slim-line CD-R drive...you must be going out of your way and damaging your case to fit it...I am sure you will do a good job at it...

But here comes the real question...is there anyway we can install a PCMCI like A1200 to have WiFi internet or internet in the Amiga 500 all together? Is there anyway we can have internet connection on Amiga 500 without the need to using serial cable...but have fast speed internet connection on an Amiga 500 with like 300 Kb/sec transfer on the internet?

I don't have one, but, wasn't a 1200-style clock port just released for the A500?  Isn't there an ethernet expansion board for the clockport?

There it is http://www.vesalia.de/e_a500clockport.htm and it seems to work on an A500. Sadly it is not available for sale in any means.  So now technically speaking I can actually have a clockport in my Amiga 500 which in return allows me to have a WiFi support in my A500. That is super sweet! Knowing the fact that I can have internal HD, and internal WiFi..simply scotch tape the metallic with tape to avoid short circuiting the motherboard, install the clockport, install the USB Sub, place a WiFi card and poof problem solved.  I have a working A500 with internet connection....the fact there is a solution for it..makes me happy :) Even if I cannot achieve that solution lol
