A500 ... PCI ..?
« on: February 11, 2008, 10:08:51 PM »
As part of my A500T project im starting work on schematics for building an expansion board with zorro2 slots... etc .. yadayada..

This may sound quite silly, i think i already know the answer  but just to be sure ..

Is it possible to have PCI slots and if so what chips do i need etc ..?

@Piru

Ive learnt alot on looking at schematics etc on aminet.
and no i dont want to have to deal with software ..

I was planning on using PCI graphics and sound, so PCI is a no go i guess ..

@JimS

I might consider building a clockport adapter, or can you buy them anywhere at the moment?
IIRC amigakit were selling them at one point?

Can you get a sound card for clockport and is it possible to have more than one clockport device?

@Krusher

Sorry you are right, i guess i just wanted to do this bit by bit.
I have a few more questions to ask but i will post them in one thread  ;-)

oh yes and its already in the tower

cheers
Samm. :-)
