Just caught up with your thread marm. What a journey! and sounds very familiar the up and downs of this. It pays to walk away from it sometimes and things don't go to plan when you do get the time, but it sounds like you have a nice amiga collection going now. The A1200 is a beauty of a machine and will serve you well in making music and anything else. CompactFlash adapter to PCMCIA is now open to you and rather than hunting around for working CF cards, I highly recommend SD to CF Type I Adapter to go with PCMCIA Adapter.

It works surprisingly well for a adapter within an adapter
