In regard to the Zorro bus, I've always wondered if a PCI-to-Zorro adaptor or . . .
a AGP-to-Zorro adaptor . . .
could enable the use of certain plentiful (and cheap) PC expansion cards on big-box Amigas? What I'm referring to is a Zorro Card base with a PCI (or AGP) bus socket offset behind it. . . . . like an 'L' shapped Zorro Card where the other card connects on the adaptor (PCI or AGP) and snugs into a stiffener vertical fitting on the Half-Zorro section.
GVP had a feature connector on certain of their GForce accellerator cards that at least one 32bit Gfx Card fitted onto.
That was the Spectrum 110/24(?), and due to the 32bit connection bypassed the 16bit ZorroII bus of the A2000.
Spectrum 110/24With that LAST in mind; is it at all feasable to manufacture a
CPU-Slot passthrough AGP connector that still allows the accellerator to be used? This last, if feasable, may be applicable to A2000 and CD32-Upgrades.
