Nope. Zorro I has 100 pins, just like Zorro II. The
difference is that
the cards are nearly 12" x 12", not PC/ISA shaped. They didn't last long.
The only expansion box I ever saw that used them, lay flat on top of the
A1000, under the monitor, and provided two slots. I don't know if anyone
ever made any Zorro I cards other than FAST RAM.
The 86 pin connector is labeled Zorro on the RevA A500
schematics (the hand drawn ones) and a Zorro to Zorro II
expansion circuit for up to 6 true ZII slots is there as well.
There is no mention of any 12" x 12" form factor boards in
any of the C= technical refs. I have for all the OCS/ECS
machines up to A3000(T)
Lee.
