CD-ROM with GVP A-530 Turbo
« on: August 29, 2003, 06:04:01 AM »
Anyone else familiar with the GVP A-530 68030E accelerator for the A-500? It plugs into the A500's expansion slot, thus ruling out the A570.  It has a SCSI controller that controlls up to 6 devices. My machine currently includes 2 hard drives mounted in an external case, with its own power supply, and more slots available. Can one obtain SCSI CD-ROM devices, and would it work with WB 2.04???

Thanks for the tip. Is OS 3.5/ ROM 3.1 compatible with the old A500? Never had the inclination to upgrade the KS as I was alway happy with my exiting system. The A530 runs great (knock wood), and is near 10 years old now. The peformance she gives me prevented my wanting to obtain an A2000 orA4000.The original A500 is 18 years old now, and still runs good as well. Has kept me happily in the stone age however!!! Haven't figured out how to hook her up to my old A1000 yet! :-D
