What kinda stuff can I add in my Z4 Busboard?
« on: December 05, 2006, 07:26:24 PM »
I'm just sitting here thinking of any cool cards I can put into my Z4 Busboard. I know i'm getting the FastIDE for the Z4, but can I add in like a video toaster or an apple emulator, or maybe even a phonepak?
A4K: \\\'060, Cyberstorm MKIII Cybervision 64/3D w/ Scandoubler, Buddha Flash XSurf, MP3@64, A4K: \\\'040, Toaster, Y/C, A1200: Apollo \\\'040, A1200 GVP \'030, A1200: Stock, A2000: 68K, Trump SCSI, Supra 8Mb, and Toaster 4K, A2500: \\\'030, GVP SCSI, Supra 8MB x2, Video Toaster, CD32, Minimig, Efika and Hopefully an A4000T soon!

u can add any ZorroII card, but ALL zorroII a1200 busboards DO NOT have DMA on them... so if the card in question needs DMA, then it won't work... rtg don't need dma, mainly ide/scsi cards need it... some might work but slower

also I heared that the DCE Cybervision 64/3D has a jumper to enalbe a special faster mode that is supported on the upper zorro slot of the zorroIV busboard... dunno if it works though...

That jumper is actually on the Z4 board itself. It controls 2 slots, but the DCE Cybervision is the only board that supports it.

For a Toaster you'll need a Video Slot Enabler.

The special Z4 slots can take only a FastATA or Mediator. This combination is pretty much the only way to have Zorro and PCI in a 1200, though.
