Another unknown Zorro card ?
« on: March 15, 2010, 10:42:07 AM »
I just found an unknown Zorro card in my collection. Info :
On the back it has got a led and an on/off switch. It's got space for 8 chips on the other side of the card, the rest of the card is empty with one strange slot where another card is supposed to be plugged in but I haven't got a clue which one. The card appears to be used to make a non-Amiga card to work on an Amiga. The only identification is "CO 9251 AB" but Google hasn't come up with any answers. Is this some kind of daughterboard ?

Zac67 : you are correct, it is some kind of ISA connector, just tried to squeez an old ISA soundcard in it and part of the card fits perfectly inside that slot on the Amiga card. The Amiga card on the back has got NO connector, just an on and off switch and one single red led, that's it, no scsi connector, no svhs connector, no connector at all.
So if I get this, it's an ALF card that is made to use pc isa scsi cards that all together are not bootable ? So without a specific pc isa scsi card this Amiga card is useless ?

Joetee : excuse me sir, I had to resize the original picture 2 times in order to be able to upload it here, even 640x480 was way too big to upload :(
