When in doubt, hit it with a stick!

so what do we recon? is it zorro1, zorro2 or custom? i can't see that much control logic on my HD8+ to suggest anything else?
am itching to build a slot for a zorro2 card, just don't want anything to go bang! but with GVP's history of 64pin simms instead of standard 72pins, or the custom modules that went into the 530, i wouldn't rule out something completely proprietary... |

Zorro I and Zorro II are electrically compatible, but the cards are just a different form factor. I doubt there were any commercially available Zorro I expansion boards, only reference designs.
So it's probably a Zorro slot with a different connector.. Why not take the Amigabus and Zorro II pinouts in one hand and a multimeter in the other and start tracing the signals to the edge connector. |

I'm pretty sure that GVP made that slot a propreitary one and was planning on or had indeed released some PC compatible cards, like a 386/486 cpu board of some kinds...
Yes indeed, take a look at this snippet from the Big Book of Amiga Hardware: Quote:

well, the power points seem to line up, just a case of growing the ballskis to connect a z2 card to it....
18yr+ old hardware, don't fail me now! |
