Using Zorro II with an A500

[Agafaster]

AF did it.

Essentially, the A500 trapdoor slot is a cut down Zorro 2 slot wired slightly differently.

I think you get full compatibility, but you only get one slot (IIRC the article did show how a couple could be daisy-chained together but it wasnt easy), and you dont get DMA, and stuff like that. I believe it could take Graphics cards, but the performance was not as good as a true zorro slot.

You are right !
I sit corrected. never owned a 500, btw. explains how I could get it wrong though, eh !
