@darkage
Well, let's say that I skipped one typical PC upgrade cycle in order to get this up&running. From cost perspective, it's a well planned tradeoff between money and hobbies. In order to sustain this one, the others went down the drain.
 
It's not over yet.
There's a empty space for NIC inside that GVP A530....
Just few pics....

Well, that was Metalguy66's idea in 1st place, I'm just following the paradigm. Some year ago, he used hard facts to disect eventual A500 - NIC integration. In short, with functional SANA2 driver for one older Realtek chip (IIRC, the same one used in X-Surf) a one could use make simple RTL8029 interfacing with a small buffer, simple glue logic and few passive elements to adapt it to Zorro. There's no Zorro port inside A530 or HD+, but all signals are set in place in GVP's proprietary connector used with GVP286 PC bridge.
