configuration:
This is not a user friendly type of board to configure. Because of its high end nature it requires the best of hardware to run. Normally most people would by the system directly from Applied Magic (CPU Normally most people would by the system directly from Applied Magic (CPU and all). Any shortcuts can result in a non-functional editor (i.e. 3.0 boot roms, rom images instead of real roms, Buster Rev 9, slow video drives, slow SCSI controller, etc..) Also Applied Magic said that any GVP SCSI controllers where NOT SUPPORTED. So the requirements are the requirements, anyone thinking "well this SCSI controller is as good as the Fastlane Z3 but it cost HALF" be prepare for disappointment. Applied Magic was still in business but making PC products.

Note: This card features a so-called "breakout-box" with all the connectors for the video equipment. This box is connected to the card with a special cable, similar to SCSI-1 internal cabling, but with special connectors. Without the breakout box and connectors the card is absolutely useless!
