PIO 0 ?? There is as far as I know no setting for on a pc, it just works at full speed which is megafast compared to a normal Amiga. About turning the damn thing off, indeed, just hit the power button !!
Gfx card ?? I use a 2nd hand Ebay GeForce2 MX 400 64 Mb PCI card that I got for 40 euro. I allows screenmodes in 8bit, 16 bit and 32 bit. If you take a non supported card that you only get 1 screenmode, 640x256 I think ...
I use a harddisc that I prepared when booting with the Amithlon cd. Later I took a scrap 40 Mb IDE hd (one without jumpers for master/slave) and now I use that one to boot up the computer without cd.
