Just what type of memory do GVP boards use? Besides GVP....
« on: April 12, 2004, 04:52:20 AM »
Okay.  For as long as I can remember, GVP expansion boards always used some type of proprietary "GVP" memory.  Back in the day, your Amiga either needed whatever GVP required (for GVP boards) or your basic 72 pin non-parity SIMMS (for everybody else's boards).

I've been thinking about picking up a second hand GVP board and I'm wondering just what type of memory it does require.  SIMMS, DIMMS, SODIMMS, SDRAM, or what?  I mean, they had to be something, right?  I've always suspected that whatever made GVP RAM "special" was just that it wasn't a 72 pin SIMM like everybody else.

Or were they really special?

Memory these days is cheap and plentiful.  I would like to think that I can pick up some memory somewhere without having to scour the internet for "GVP" RAM.

Input, anybody...?

Okay.  I understand that.  But the board that takes the GVP memory...what kind of memory is it?  A SIMM made by GVP?  Something else made by GVP?  72 pin?  168 pin?
