On my towerized+zorroed A500 with Blizzard 2060:
128 MB on Blizzard, max 8 MB on Oktagon 2008 and 2 MB on Megachip2, so total max of 138 MB.

So the zorroII area takes just max 8 MB. You need an accelerator that uses 32bit area for addressing memory.

a)
and a shopkeeper who sold me the tower instead of just a Slingshot - and then I just decided to get the best. I was very sorry that Blizzard 2604 PPC board never got to the shelves. :-?  :-?  :-?

Almost all 030 accelerators map their memory outside ZII area, so 99% yes.

Infinitiv was a trademark (?) by Micronik; the tower/busboard compo was really made by Micronik. Just looks like the first Ramiga Z5 for A1200. I think they began with towers for A2000 and A500, mine has been done ca. 1993; I bought it 1996. The kbd box has an Infinitiv logo on it.
