| In the Readme of the CoffisOS they suggest 32GB CF/SD card, but I'm wondering if this is enough? How many space will be available after installing the OS? (for games, other programs ...) Thank you in advance! Greets

| How long is a piece of string? There is plenty of space once you write the image to a 32Gb card. Remember that Amiga applications, with some rare exceptions, came on 880k Floppy disks. And coffin has soooooo many applications, chances are, the one you are interested in is already there. So they were rarely bigger than a few megabytes. How much space you personally require is a question only you can answer. Write the image to a CF card and see for yourself. If it isn't enough, you could always remove applications you aren't interested in. Or get a bigger CF card.

| Yeah, really depends on if you want to keep all the demos and the selection of WHdLoad games and such that come on the Coffin Image. If you don't, you can remove those to make space for your own stuff. Alternative is to use a 64GB drive, write the 32GB image and then make a 2nd partition with the remainder and put your stuff there.

| Or do like me! Use a mechanical 260 GB hard drive or you can push it to 500 GB hard drive and network your Amiga to a 2 TB hard drive and use an external DVD reader 4 GB each disk and for added touch use a 750 MB zip drive and if you must!!! Use your 880 KB disk drive! - grin -

Sorry for the question ;-), but I want to know before I buy a card! (decision between 32GB and 64GB) Nevertheless thank you!

If you're using SD the price between those 2 sizes these days is at most a few $. CF, that's another story. I still don't understand why this community seems to have a love affair with CF given it's been on the way out for years...

You can always install the Coffin, then delete unnecessary files.
I've installed Coffin, copied some interesting stuff to other card (about 2 GB i think ;)) and the re-partitioned the card with Coffin (without touching the system partition).

| I have installed coffin on a 32GB SD card with a SD->CF adapter, and removed some unnecessary big files (sample movies, pictures, sounds).
And after I added an (cheap compared to CF) micro SD card for datas

I have a 64GB in my V600 setup, 32GB in my V500 setup, I have a 64 uSD card as well in each for extra storage.
On my 64GB CF, I mounted it in WinUAE to re-partition it with larger sizes and then copied the files from each partition utilize the full space of the CF card.

| You know you can get a 120 GB mechanical HDD 2.5" for your Amiga 500/v4 for just 10 dollars. Just saying.

| I am using a WD Green SSD 120 GB (internal M.2 2280) together with a M.2/SATA to 2.5 IDE Converter with my Vampire 500 v2 inside my Amiga 500+.
It is running fine with plenty of disk space :-)Maybe for some it is an alternative to SD or CF cards. Adapter:

| For Amiga 68k 32GB is more than enough. You will have everything worth to have for Amiga 68k with that kind of space.
