any amiga can handle 4 floppy drives

but you can make network with Envoy upto 255 floppy drives :-)

but if PCMCIA is used you can only have 4M fastmem on a600, the same applies
for a1200 until you have 68030 as main cpu

yep true

 GG> Only 4 mb?

PCMCIA on amiga is just 16bit

 GG> There hasn't been a hack made for larger by now?

nope

 GG> What kind of cards can be used?

any 16bit card do work

 GG> Linear or ATA?

Linear

 GG> Static or Flash?

both
