      Hello Joacim!

   Well, when the G-Force 030 maps the memory to a different address space then   
   it might work. Maybe you can check the address spaces against this table:   
   https://amigacoding.com/index.php/Amiga_memory_map or http://ami   
   adev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Hardware_Manual_guide/node00D4.html (or others)   
      
   Additionally, there might be some special functions the G-Force might use   
   together with the GVP bridgeboard which the VXL cannot use.   
      
   Anyway, I doubt that you will have a real speed improvement with use the   
   NE2000 NIC on the PC side from AmigaOS. It will be quite slow and maybe it's   
   better to buy a real Amiga NIC instead.
