So, there's no way to have a full internal expansion ?
Not easily, no. There is a CF adapter that plugs into the modem port internally, but according to the github repo it's not been built by anyone yet.

That would be preferable, so I may try and build one, we'll see. There are no internal XT bus connections.

Ok, found it.

It seems really easy to build.

Worth giving it a try.

Well, the PCB's are due for delivery today, I'd better get the A500 back together after the RGB2HDMI install so I have my build space back again.

The smaller board will get built as well, it's a data separator board for the OSI 600D and goes with the 610 expansion board that I hope to get started on soon :)
