Configurating for A500+ GVP A530

27 November 2015, 02:53

i Still have my A500 but just it i've lost overtime the power brick the external FDD, and the GVP A530 i had.

i know ho wto set up FS-UAE/WinUAE for everything BUT the GVP A530. do i need its Board Rom to use it in FS-UAE or? and Since i no longer have it i have no possible means to dumping it's board rom. i hate to mention as i'm guessing its likely not "Proper" to randomly grab it off the Net. but where would i acquire the Rom of teh board?

i remember w/ the GVP + what i had in the Amiga, it showed 512kb Slow ram 6MB FASTRam it had a 80MB HDD in it till the drive died and started clicking.

I haven't tried with FS-UAE / GVP A530, and it's not officially supported. However, you can probably enable it in FS-UAE using "WinUAE" options prefixed with uae_.

According to WinUAE changelog: "- Added GVP A530 accelerator. Uses same boot ROM as GVP Series II SCSI controllers. (Uses GVP #2 SCSI slot)"

The ROM is probably available in expansion_boot_roms.zip in the Zone.
