I have a GVP A500-HD+
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:05:12 PM »
I am curious, I have a GVP A500-HD+ and inside that motherboard it have the 100 pin port which allows me to install an 286 PC emulator card. I find that card to be useless and waste of my time, had i being a 486 PC for example with like 600 Mhz CPU or such then I might consider it...anyways...

Is it possible I can install some zorro card or some sort o expansion card in it that allows me to put other expansions in the system that support zorro or some such or is this pin just designed for the purpose of the PC emulator of 286 that cannot even run windows 3.1 on it?

It's a propriety GVP header for the PC card only. Just enjoy it for what it is buddy.

It's proprietary so you're stuck with either putting the PC emulator (286) card in there or leaving it empty.

You're right.  The 286 isn't much use.  At the very least a 386 would've been much better, but it wasn't meant to be.
