Elbox Winner ZIV Busboard Questions...
Hey Guys,
I finally got the parts in to bring up my second A1200 Desktop, which I am happy to say is now rocking pretty hard. So I think I am finally ready to start putting together an A1200 Tower. I have a 1200 Tower with the Winner Z4 busboard in it that I got from a guy off ebay. The only thing is I am lacking the manual for the Z4 board. If anyone has this manual scanned, I could really use a copy, please. The unit has a keyboard adapter board in it. I am pretty sure this little board will allow me to use a PC keyboard on the 1200, but I am not sure I want to. I think I would like to use a regular 2000 keyboard, but was told a long time ago that I can not just swap pc/Amiga keyboards without blowing something up. So I am a little nervous about trying a keyboard on this 1200 without knowing first if it is safe. Any help would be greatly appreciated... I also have the Mediator ZIV PCI busboard for the Winner Board, so once I get this box up it should be pretty rocking. I have a video card, nic, and sound card for the box. I had read somewhere that the Spider USB card is just a rebranded NEC card. There are cards that look exactly the same on ebay for $8, so was thinking of trying 1 of them in the last slot. If anyone has any info on this or any other relevant subject, I would appreciate any advice you may have.... Thanks, Info-Seeker |

Also it is impossible to buy keys for Poseidon any more so unless you know someone with an older copy, one which supports Spider _AND_ willing to give you a copy of their key you'll never get it up and running. Not sure if there are Spider USB drivers for the Anaiis, the alternative Amiga USB stack? Plus I'm not even sure Anaiis even has a Mass Storage Class which is the main usage for USB.
