Another new A500+ bmotherboard

[Jope]

I was under the impression that the A500 Gayle IDE implementations mostly based on the Mika Leinonen ide68k boards, which are based on reverse engineering by Vladimir Sobolev, whose logic is based on what Gayle itself does. :-D

Maybe so for the boards that add IDE to the 500. That wasn't what was mentioned though.

The CF to IDE boards are all simple passthrough adapters. Not really a "design" that can be copied, as CF cards are IDE compatible as standard.

Im talking about the idea to bring the CF card directly above the PCMCIA port… that’s clever and cool. All my A600s and A1200s are equiped with one of this kind…
