The sudden freezing of the machine when using the IDE was caused by incompatible default settings in drive setup in HDInstall, unchecked a couple of attributes there as 'last ID' and 'async'.

Issue: When booting from TF536 IDE, my keyboard gets stuck/locked up. This could be related to A2286AT Bridgeboard and 'Janus-handler'. Maybe worth testing without GVP SCSI as well. If I boot from GVP SCSI partition, keyboard doesnt get stuck and I can use TF536 Ide partitions without issues.

I'd say you're one of the rare ones that has a working combination, and you're very lucky!! :D . With respect, there's certainly nothing you're doing that I can copy/mimic that will have my TF536 work on the A2000.... it simply doesn't get past the flashy-flashy screen, with or without CF cards plugged in, end of story.

I also had a hard time finding them, and most of the sellers I could find were in Europe and shipping to the US was prohibitively expensive. Instead I dug up the gerbers from SukkoPera and got 5 made at PCBway. I gave two to a friend locally, and used one. If @Gotang is in North America, happy to ship you one or two of my spares.
