Of course an A500 is much more compatible if you play plain disk games. Don't discuss it with Akira. You can't win!!! Get the A500 and everything is fine.

You'd be made to swap A600 for A500.

Put an £4 IDE->2GB CF card inside install WHDload and enjoy diskless gaming!

I will most likely be getting an a500 from DoogUK, i will just wait for any pics and the cost and then my a600 will most likely go up for sale

Consider this thread closed as my A600 is now going on amibay or ebay (not decided yet)


Edit: my A600 is now on amibay

Pics as promised, it has a 512k expansion with a on/off switch so you can turn it off for maximum compatibility.
