Yes, it's not particularly well documented IMO, from the description I thought that this was actually a ROM switcher but that "JP1" jumper as indigolemon says changes the device type.

OKTAGON is for 1.3
OKTAPUSSY is for 2+

If you run systest or similar with each you'll see different device types loaded.

IIRC the OKTAGON type device is limited to 4GB also but I'm only using a 2GB CF card (and in an A500+ with 2.04) anyway so I can't be sure.

There is a solder blob next to it, "SJ1" that I'm curious about as well as an "OC1" which looks like it might be an intentionally "missing" component, OC1 goes into the Xilinx "Glue" chip. No idea about the functionality of either.

Lukzer is on the Polish Amiga board (ppa.pl - https://www.ppa.pl/forum/elektronika...we-turbo-hc000 ) I have registered to ask about those two but my membership has not yet been approved.
