GVP A500 HD8+ SCSI Interface
The HD8+ has 4 30-pin SIMM sockets that can utilize 1Mx8 or 4Mx8 SIMM modules.
We at National Amiga have used it with 1x3 and 4x3's, but it has only worked in rare
occasions and is not recommended unless you have money to spare.
Using SIMM's with parity is also fine, it will just ignore the extra parity bit (1Mx9 and 4Mx9).
- Combination eight (8) megabyte, zero-waitstate, FastRAM controller and ANSI XT3T9.2 compatible SCSI interface.
- Supports up to seven (7) SCSI peripherals.
- High performance DMA transfers to and from hard-disk.
- SCSI data transfer rates of up to 3.58MB/sec for SCSI peripherals.
- Amiga 500 expansion bus host interface.
- Auto-configs both Fast RAM and SCSI interface.
- Internal 50-pin SCSI connector.
- External 25-pin SCSI connector (DB25). Macintosh compatible pinout.
- Power requirements: +5V, +/-5%, +12V, -2.2 amps maximum.
- Ambient temperature: 0° - 30°C
- Relative humidity: 20% - 80%
