1208 can only take 8Mbytes of RAM. Hence the name 1208

It conflicts with the PCMCIA with anything over 4Mbytes making network cards etc. unusable.

It only takes special 64-pin GVP SIMMS and so not populated it is not worth much.

Has an internal SCSI connector for 2.5" SCSI drives, however as it is non standard if the cable is not present it is worth even less.

£10-20

alexh, is it possible to use the external scsi to hook up a scsi cdrom?
Sure, or hard drive. (SCSI external, or even use an Acard 7720U SCSI->IDE)

Also, is this card autdetecting or do I need to install software?
As has already been said, this card has a ROM and is autobooting.

Do you have to use the special GVP 64 pin ram

Yes, that is what I said.
