Prometheus PCI question

[bebek]

Prometheus PCI, putting mechanical difficulties aside - can it be used in parallel with other Zorro cards?

Yeah, I used ZorRam along with mine just fine.

Thanks Steve. Is there any specific slot it has to be in or just any?

 

[strim]

Will work in any. I tested both in A3000 and A4000 (desktops), with various other cards installed. As I was writing the NetBSD driver for it, was completely stable in at least a dozen of different configurations with other Zorro boards.

Although, you have to plan accordingly, because of the limited space. Prometheus does not really fit well into desktop cases (these darn mechanical difficulties...).

Thanks for info. Good news for me then .

Hi Bebek, maybe you can take some inspiration from my old project thread:

It was using ZorRam & FastATA 4000 with the Prometheus and yeah, it all fit inside with angle adapter and S3 Virge GPU
