Look what I found !!!!! A 4 slot busboard with Zorro and ISA slots !!! Tried to insert it in the side expansion of my A500 with kick 2.0 and inserted a scsi card. Computer booted from floppy without problem, the scsi hd on the scsi card started also to spin but somehow I have no access to it. Tried a 1 Mb Ram Zorro card but that also didn't show up in the workbench. Can it be that this thing needs an extra power cable soldered to it in order to work

Please correct me if I am wrong, I'm still young and need to learn a lot

Forgot to tell, the brand is Comptec and was based in Germany ...

The busboard is actually made of two boards, one that inserts in the A500 slot and the other one with the slots. On one board even the full address is printed :

CompTec
4192 Kalkar 4 (Niedermormter)

I inserted 2 GVP 2000 HC+8 boards with a working scsi hd on them, the card started spinning when I turned on the A500 so it did get power from the busboard ...
