    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!
