       IJ> Hello Joacim!               IJ> 26 Dec 17 11:56, you wrote to me:               IJ>>> How much memory did the G-Force 030 have? 4 MB?        IJ>>> AFAIR there is only a 8 MB window for AutoConfig address space.        IJ>>> If the 8 MB of the VXL 30 binds into that memory space, this can        IJ>>> be an issue.        JM>> Thanks Ingo. I want to use it with AmigaOS. I wonder if there is a        JM>> way to remap the VXL 30 RAM to not occupy this memory space? My old        JM>> G-Force 030-card had 12 megs of RAM.               IJ> Well, when the G-Force 030 maps the memory to a different address        IJ> space then it might work. Maybe you can check the address spaces        IJ> against this table:        IJ> https://amigacoding.com/index.php/Amiga_memory_map or        IJ> http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Hardware_Manual_guide/node00D        IJ> 4.html (or others)               IJ> Additionally, there might be some special functions the G-Force might        IJ> use together with the GVP bridgeboard which the VXL cannot use.               IJ> Anyway, I doubt that you will have a real speed improvement with use        IJ> the NE2000 NIC on the PC side from AmigaOS. It will be quite slow and        IJ> maybe it's better to buy a real Amiga NIC instead.              Yes. They are very costly though, and the Zorro II-bus in my A2000 doesn't       give me more than 10Mbit/s anyway so I think it will be fine.               Thanks Ingo!                            --- NiKom v2.3.1        * Origin: Delta City (deltacity.se, Vallentuna, Sweden) (2:201/120.0)    |
