Title: RBM ZorroII busboard a1200, can I use a zorroII rtg???
Post by: keropi on December 16, 2004, 10:44:55 AM

I have my a1200 inside a RBM towerhack case and also the RMB zorroII busboard, can I use a zorro2 rtg, just by pluging it?  :-?

I want to add a picasso 2 card with 2MB, will it be OK? also what's the story with segmented memory option if u have more than 6mb fast ram? it applied only i zorro ramcard is connected, right? I have 32MB fastram on my 1260...

There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to use a Z2 RTG card as far as I can tell.

From what I gather A1200 zorro busboards can sometimes be a bit quirky so nothing's garantueed (AFAIK,IIRC,IMHO).

@keropi:

You dont need to worry about the segmented mode as the Blizzard1260 you have allocates its memory outside the Zorro2 address-space. The only thing you can think about is to not use up more than 4MB of the Zorro2 address-space to keep the PCMCIA-port working.

Forget the segmented mode. It works only with the original Picasso software and is dead slow.
