the side car slot on it however is the same as Zorro 2 digitally

It's the same as the A2000's CPU slot.

I don't think it is, as its missing a CLK signal? I dunno, perhaps someone can correct me...

Zorro slots have a couple of signals more, that are not present in the A2000 CPU slot/A500 side expansion slot (AmigaBUS).

As I say, I thought the CPU slot also had a signal that wasn't present in the Zorro slot.... The CPU slot and A500 expansion are not (electrically) the same are they?
I'm not saying you're wrong, its just this is how I understood it to be... Anyone?


Essentially, I was wondering what would be required to run an A2000 CPU card from the A500's sidecar slot. I assumed that I needed to add the CLK signal, perhaps using the CLK line from the A500 mobo and a clock multiplier....
I like Amigas
