I'm not sure there is a specific ROM for the A530. There is a ROM for the SCSI controller, the same as most of GVP's other SCSI controllers - 4.15 is the last version, included in the archive linked above.

Yeah, all A500 and Zorro II GVP SCSI boards (including accelerators that have SCSI) use common ROMs. Each board has identification nybble in autoconfig space that ROM boot code reads.

A1200 GVP boards with SCSI use different ROMs.

Is this why winuae displays "GVP Series II v4.15(16k)"? I can't find the rom but it's there.

Yes. Thats the latest official version that is "all" A500/Z2 GVP compatible.

WinUAE detects rom files using checksum, rom file name can be anything.

I think I read that GVP PC286 cannot be emulated?
Is it possible to deactivate the A530 using a keyboard shortcut. As well as the original device with the on and off switch?

There is nothing that "can't be emulated", it only requires time. Only Commodore bridgeboards are documented in low level. Reversing other bridgeboards is not worth the trouble (and I am not interested in seeing any x86 code. Which there is a lot in BIOS..)

A530 does not have software disable and hardware switch equals manually configured 68000 CPU. You can't change the CPU without reset anyway.
