Well, not all inexpensive adapters support DMA

Not true if you ask me. CF cards are IDE devices. All IDE->CF adapters are passive and just wire from one connector shape to another.

All adapters are compatible with the Amiga because they are passive, i.e. just a bunch of wires !

The incompatibilities that exist are to do with the CF cards themselves. They must be a FIXED type rather than a REMOVABLE type. Some SANDISK cards can be changed using software if you get the wrong one.

IDE->SD adapters are more expensive and can be slower than IDE->CF but so far, all converters tested have worked with the Amiga regardless of card make.

Take a look here!

I have this and this. they both work nicely with my A1200. the cf adapter was tested with a 512mb cf card.
The SD adapter was tested successfully with a 512mb and a 1gb MMC card. They should do the same with SD cards as well.
HOWEVER!
They do not like to share the IDE bus with any other device (i do not know if buffered ide controllers works (like the 4xIDE devices), since i have none of those. My a1200 runs primary on SCSI.
But hey.. for a couple of dollars and free shipping...

EDIT: a link is corrected

there seems to be mixed information

Well, my integral cf card and the previous one, this already has been replaced for this problem, isn't working with the cf device. My other cf card which is a ultra 2 worked straigt out of the box.
