I like the idea of having a virtual drive to mount; but the problem is that most cards on the amiga are not supported, so you are stuck with 8 GB max from what I can tell, which means not that many iso fit on it

As far as checkmate case; no thanks Got plenty of conversions to PC cases to be honest; even when they were selling the first A1500 case. If the price of the case was half of what they ask, I would think about it, otherwise a PC case would do in the same way.

I like the 4 devices interface; although that would have to live outside my Amiga case And for CD audio, that would affect only official CD32 games; since if I run an amiga game from a CD, I assume the audio is played by the Paula chip, not by the cd like a CD32 audio track. I can live without that, until I figure out if I want to get the interface and move the amiga to a larger case.

Thanks!!!!

I have mine all jammed in my A1200 Desktop case.


Slim slot loader DVD-Writer attached to 4x Buffered interface. I have soldered mixer to outputs, so it connects straight to drive for CDDA. Also use a power y splitter for power. I use the idefix CD32 emu and atapi.device, with the CacheCDFS from OS3.9. Have wired up Half floppy led to light when drive active. This setup works flawlessly with every single CD32 game I have thrown at it.

In the process of moving it all to a CD32 SE A1200 case.

I've had 80 and 120GB hard drives in my main A1200 since that sort of size was a big deal

Very true. Be nice to have a flash type card for A1200, as not to mess around with HDD's and rom burning.

But have you tried Defender of the Crown 2?
