i have a AdIDE2 controller on my CDTV put on the cpu socket, but my question is if i can add a expasion memory together (adide+memory+cpu), for example the expasion memory CDTV of elbox.

Thanks

It's possible electronicly, but you'll probably run out of space in the CDTV case as the Elbox memory card is very large.  I've seen an A500 that had an Derringer 030 and an AdIDE2 and it worked fine, although it was very cramped I'm sure.
Time to move on.  Bye Amiga.org.  :(

There is a memory card by W.A.W which connects to the CDTV's Diagnostic slot called the bigram8 which lets you add up to 8MB fast ram, thats probably better than an elbox style memory card on top of an adide card.
Other than that why not get an SCSI card and connect a harddrive that way and use the elbox mem card with the 68000.
