Yes, the cover closes well.

mine is a CDTV with ACE2, Sukkopera 1.3/3.1 CDTV rom switcher, exp rom 2.3 and Witcher CDTV

I use it almost exclusively with the hard drive, so someone else could answer that. I tested only a single CD (CDTV Welcome disk) that seemed to work.

Mine is suffering from the usual dodgy PSU issue, so most of the time to kick-in the SD I have to power on and then push the reset button (was behaving like that with another expansion as well)

I do have the same expansions installed, except for the ACE2. However, I noticed that both with WHDLoad and booting directly from disk, there is a dramatic drop in frame rates every now and then. It goes down to single digits. Is that related to the Wicher-Card?

[Photon]

Awesome SDRAM > DDR. Had it in my $3000 Dell computer, and then the cheapos destroyed it for us techies as always...

Requires an Amiga 1200 compatible clock port.

Yes.

@Spidi - any chance of new firmware for Rhys MkII adaptors. Loads of modern wireless nice, particularly Logitechs no longer work.

I know you said a year or two ago you were going to look into it, but there's been nothing since

Hi my a600 have eX601 ram expansion and room for indivision ecs v2 and 2 22pin clockport

[trixster]

@spidi does your clockport spi module work on clockports other than the A1200? Can it be set to work on a clockport on a zorro card such as an ISDNSurfer?

Hi
Got my spi masterbus cp controller today, looking forward to buy the busboard.
How are the pinout, just a picture with pin 40 mark

[utri007]

Is LAN support dropped from SPI masterbus? There is no manual for it and new archive doesn't have a driver anymore?

SpiMasterBus doesn't have an official LAN driver yet.
