We tried to check compatibiliy of the HIGHWAY card on as many busboards as possible. Results are given in two tables, one showing the busboard and CPU card, the other the expansion cards which were in the systems.

* | Problems can occur when an activated ioblix ethernet module is present in the system. Zorro board jumper settings should be checked for correct setting before installing the HIGHWAY. |
** | This is a "passive" buasboard only extending the original Amiga 4000 Zorro bus. Unfortunately it is designed only as a double-sided PCB, not as a multi-layer one (with dedicated ground and power layers) as requested in the Zorro III spec. Our test sample showed up with random data errors, and operating the CyberVision 64 lead to errors in the graphic display. |

We can not guarantee that the SUBWAY will work on all these Zorro cards. We can only comment on clockports we could check in our laboratory. We will not comment on clockports we could not check ourselves.
For Amiga computers with Zorro bus using the SUBWAY on a Zorro card based
clockport is not recommended. You should only choose this option if absolutely no
Zorro connector is free anymore.
The far better alternative is using the HIGHWAY Zorro board, which has been
especially designed for the needs of Zorro based Amiga computers.
For easy identification of cards the following table contains "manufacturer ID" (MID) and "product ID" (PID) as output by tools like ShowConfig or ListExp. Moreover you will find small pictures of boards used for checks.
