I now have a Gotek.. for some reason Relokick didn't work on my system (it gives me a Guru instead of loading a different kickstart), but everything I tried to run on it, so ran without problems. I was really expecting more trouble with KS 2.1, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

So right now I have either the option to use WHDLoad with low memory or the Gotek with KS 2.1 . With this combination, the only game I tried and couldn't find a way to work was Arabian Nights. It gives me a "not enough memory" on WHDLoad and I can't change disks on this particular game with the Gotek.

I am kinda satisfied. Still want to get some fast ram at some point, but right now I am pretty happy with my setup
