Don't forget!
He had to drop to zorro 2 because of his 040 card!

Thinking about, I would like to find a Picasso2 Plus card myself.

Personally I'd ditch that '040 card like a hot potato and get a model that's compatible with Zorro 3 - either a different '040, or an '060.  But that's just me, I don't know OP's budget.  ;)

I had two Picasso 2's and didn't like them much, but that was only because I couldn't get their pass-through to work with an Indivision.  AFAIK it should work fine with the A3K's build-in HD15 output.

Never could find a PII+, GVP Spectrum is the bee's knees, however.  Does Z 2 and Z 3, so if he could find one of those he could run it in 2 now, and flip it to 3 when he gets a real accelerator.  Sorry OP, that's another jumper you're going to have to flip, though!  :lol:

Mike,
   the 3640 is completely compatible with zorro3, its not that, its Jens cards!

using the x-surf 100 on zorro2 wont likely be that much difference in speed since zorro2 is still capable of 3.5MB/s max and i dont think x-surf hits that zII or in zIII mode(i could be wrong here?)


Haha, I know, I'm just not a fan of the 3640, especially in desktop 3000's. ;)

RapidRoad gets 6+ MB/sec in ZIII, 2-3MB/sec in ZIII, and around 700k/sec on clockport. That's based on reading various reviews, my experiences, etc. Your mileage may vary! ;)
