IVS Trumpcard 500 on eBay (not from me)
« on: September 15, 2004, 09:02:01 PM »
This:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4598&item=5123816988&rd=1

is one heck of a cool expansion for an A500. If you have an internal Turbocard, with this you get an SCSI interface an a ZORRO-II-Slot!

Put an Algor plus a Norway in it, and you even get USB and Ethernet! The case was designed for older, thicker  3,5"-SCSI-drives, you should ahve the space for these additons inside.

Have fun,
McTrinsic

Is that blue part the empty slot? Someone told me my GVP unit had a zorro slot, turns out it had pin headers but no slot.

Has antone tried an algor or norway with this setup?
Would it support it? My 500 has 1.3 roms & workbench 1.3 I would asume a rom as well as os upgrade would be needed. If this would work, I would be interested, Ive been looking for a broadband solution for my 500(just for email and local network) for a long time. :-D  :-o  :pint:

Well, I haven't *literally* tried it with that setup...

But, the Trumpcard itself is just a Zorro-II-card put into this adapter that offers a second Z-II-slot as well... So other Zorro-II-Cards should do well, too.

For the Algor, you need at least a 68020, a 68030 highly recommended.

You need ROM 3.1, too.

Have fun,
