WHAT GVP BOARD IS THIS???
« on: January 05, 2003, 04:57:34 AM »
I have a GVP board that was with a bunch of Amiga stuff I bought from a friend that has since died.  At the time I bought the stuff I didn't pay much attention to what was in the stuff I bought just thinking that it was spare parts.  I know the board is GVP and I know it is an accellerator.  Beyond that I am not sure about it.  I don't know the clock speed.  I know it has a Motorola 68030RC25B processor and another Motorola chip, 68882RC25A.  This ia a double ckt board.  The board on the opposite side of the processor has four memory modules that look like the ones on my GVP 040 combo.  I am guessing that they are 4MB @ and add up to a total of 16MB.  There are 8 slots total and the modules are in the bottom four slots, (the bottom being the side that plugs into the motherboard).  The board with the processor on it is the one that plugs into the computer.  there is a paper sticker on the board with the memory that has "68030 FASTRAM" and a serial number on it.  On the processor side there is another sticker with "GVP 68030 ACCELLERATOR" and a serial number on it.

I can see that this is an accellerator and memory expansion board but beyond that I know nothing about it and have no docs.  There is a 40 pin flat ribbon cable connector on the processor side.  I would like to know what that  connector is for.  Without docs or software I have no idea how to set this board up or what to do with the jumpers.

Any help on this one would be greatly appreciated.
