what is the cheapest way to give WHDLOAD to an Amiga 500?

what is the cheapest way to give WHDLOAD to an Amiga 500? internal mod preferred. (IDE + ram + possibly a faster 000 or 020/030). I want to mod a few machines before selling them to give the next users an actual reason to use them. I have a big problem selling stuff I know will end up in someones storage and tossed out in a decade or two given the work I've put in them.

    The Terrible Fire TF-530 comes to mind. That gives you an 030, some fast RAM, and an IDE interface. It's reasonably priced or you can build your own if you have some advanced soldering and electronics skills. There are certainly other options. Maybe some other members have suggestions too? Meanwhile browse the posts in this community for other ideas.

    The Terrible Fire sounds like a fun idea. I'm confident with TTH but just tried a bit on SMD soldering, So could be a nice way to practice. Also got a good setup to validate against bridges and such.

    Geir Eivind Mork it's pretty tough assembly if you're not SMD confident. Also you need the gear ti program a CPLD. You might try finding someone that is selling a kit with the SMD parts already soldered on and the CPLD's programmed. Then do the finish assembly and TTH parts yourself.
