Nope... wont work :-)

I have an M-Tec 68020i 4meg accelerator in an A2000 atm, and I use a Buddha IDE for the cd-rom and harddrive. Works well with kickstart 3.1 installed, probably will even run OS3.9

The A2091 wont work because the memory read/write is on the 'other side' of the cpu socket, effectively hidden from the dma circuitry.

I beleive the Mtec does not map its memory into the zorro 2 space correctly (I could be wrong)

Completely useless? I can always be used as a bad example  :lol:

Unconfirmed if the M-Tec 68020i works inside an A1000
never been tempted to try it in mine, it works, dont play around with its insides until I have too! :-)

And I'm fairly sure the same memory access problem would affect the gvp hd8+

I tried the M-Tec 68020i in an A500 with an AlfaPower IDE controller and that combination would not work, even tho it should have regarding the IDE cpu disk drive access :-(

The Buddha(flash) / M-Tec 68020i combo works nicely inside an A2000 under KS3.1
