Thanks for the advice, guys.  I've just bought a 2Mb SRAM card.  Wasn't cheap, but will be worth it when I get it.  After all, two weeks ago I carried my A600 (plus p/s) in a backpack all the way from the UK.  Had to take it out for security heaps of times on the way home.  Got some curious looks.

Especially as I also had a Spectrum+ and an Acorn Electron.  Do love my 8bit Acorns -I've got a BBC B, a BBC+64K, a BBC Master and a Master Compact (plus spare chips, parts etc), and 2 Acorn Electrons.  All working.  ;)

A1000 + 2.5Mb External RAM

A1200 + 030 accelerator + 16Mb RAM + 4Gb Compact Flash drive

A600 - 2MB ChipRAM


Other machines:

BBC Model B+ 64K
BBC Master
BBC Master Compact
Acorn Electron
Acorn Archimedes A310
Acorn A7000+ 16Mb (running off compact flash drive)

Atari STFM 512
Sinclair Spectrum +

Best way to experience retro CF games goodness...  I snagged an A1200 from eBay.  Why did I bother dragging an A600 through Customs?  

Almost all of the games on CF work without a hitch, unlike on my A600 - only 3 in 10 worked.  Walker is just as good as I remembered. Now Wings finally works, which relates to my current PC Rise Of Flight obsession.  Now I just need to upgrade my SRAM card to a 4Mb+ trapdoor expansion, and I can dip into the AGA stuff.....
