Exactly! Physical RAM on ZorroII cards maps into the 8MB limit (16Bit Address) space. Standard Zorro II cards (on a Zorro II Bus) all added togather can't exceed 8MB.
The CPU Card fitted into the CPU Slot is within 32Bit Address Space with a much higher limit!
GVP Acellerators handle their RAM differently . . . . . allowing the RAM (on THEIR acellerators) to be configged as inside the 8MB space, or in the expanded RAM (32Bit Address) space.
I owned a GVP 030 board in the mid nineties with 4MB on board. In the same period, I obtained an extra 4MB of GVP RAM & a Picasso II graphics card with 2MB of Gfx RAM.
To get the Picasso II to work; I configged 4MB on the GVP 030 to stay within the 8MB space, and the other 4MB to be mapped as expanded RAM.
. . . . . . .
Presently I have a Blizzard 2060 acell-board with 64MB, which would be ALL in expanded RAM; or . . . 32Bit Address Space.
