Can we talk about ACA500Plus?
Hi folks,
sorry for my little english. I've just bought and received an ACA500plus accelerator card for my Amiga 500, but I noted that has a very limited manual. Apart from that, I would learn more about the use of CF cards. From what I understood the AUX slot is only for the transfer of files to a Windows PC and vice versa. Conversely, the boot slot is only limited to an use as HDrive, right? Or is it possible to use it as GOTEK drive as well? I would appreciate also a link to a more detailed manual or just discuss with you about its characteristics or your impressions.  Thank you in advance for any help. |

No, you can't use it as a floppy emulator. The Boot card is similar to the A600/1200 internal IDE connector and the AUX card is for FAT32 formatted cards that you can use to transfer data from a modern computer.
Have you already checked the Individual Computers wiki? http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/ACA500plus |

I didn't know that link, I will surely have a look. About Aux slot I just discovered that it can works as a single floppy. I copied the entire content (files and dirs) of a WB 1.3 disk to an amiga formatted CF, inserting it in the aux slot (insted of boot slot). After I switched "aux slot on" in ACA menu (F10->F7) and I was really surprised of the outcome because WB has been run as on a floppy! I tried also inserting the CF with WB inside in the "CF boot slot", I hoped that the CF was handled at the same way as in the other slot (considering that it is a boot slot for formatted amiga CF...) but the CF has been totally ignored. Why? About this I would like to know better the difference in comparison to the "amiga boot CF slot". Can the latter be used only as HDisk? Thank you for any reply. |

Yes you can talk about the ACA500plus, but maybe use the existing thread for it? http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ght=aca500plus
