Released as the expansion bus of the CommodoreAmiga 3000 in 1990, the Zorro IIIcomputer bus was used to attach peripheral devices to an Amiga motherboard. Designed by Commodore International lead engineer Dave Haynie, the 32-bit Zorro III replaced the 16-bitZorro II bus used in the Amiga 2000. As with the Zorro II bus, Zorro III allowed for true Plug and Play autodetection (similar to, and prior to, the PC's PCI bus) wherein devices were dynamically allocated the resources they needed on boot.

Zorro III continued Zorro II's direct memory-mapped address design (unlike 80x86 processors, the MC68K family used in the Amiga did not have a separate I/O address mechanism). Just as with Zorro II on 24-bit systems, Zorro III reserved a large chunk of 32-bit real memory address space for large memory mapped cards, a smaller chunk with smaller allocation granularity for 'I/O' type board. Zorro III was never supported on 24-bit address or 16-bit data devices—it required a full 32-bit CPU. The CPU could directly address any Zorro III device as memory, so Zorro memory expansions could be made (and were made) as well as it being possible to use video memory on a video card to be as system RAM.

As an asynchronous bus, Zorro III specified bus cycles of set lengths during which a transaction conforming to the specifications of the bus could be carried out. The initial implementation of Zorro III was in Commodore's 'Fat' Buster (BUS conTrollER) gate array, assisted by a very high speed PAL and numerous TTL buffer chips for bus buffering, isolation, and multiplexing. The Amiga 4000 implementation was fundamentally the same, but integrated a second gate-array to replace the TTL buffers. The Buster chip provided bus arbitration, translation between the MC68030 bus protocols and either Zorro II or Zorro III bus cycles (geographically mapped based on the Zorro bus address), and a vectored interrupt mechanism, generally not used. Zorro II bus masters were legal bus hogs, but Zorro III devices were fairly arbitrated and had controller-limited bus tenure.

Despite being a 32-bit bus, Zorro III used the same 100 way slot and edge connector as Zorro II. The extra address and data lines were provided by multiplexing some of the existing connections with the nature of the lines changing at different stages of the bus access cycle (e.g. address becoming data). However, the bus was not fully multiplexed; the lower 8-bits of address were available during data cycles, which allowed Zorro III to support a fast burst cycle in page-mode. Properly designed Zorro II expansion cards could coexist with Zorro III cards; it was not a requirement of a Zorro III bus master to support DMA access to Zorro II bus targets. Cards could detect a Zorro III vs. Zorro II backplane, allowing certain Zorro III cards to function when connected to the older Zorro II bus, though at Zorro II's reduced data rates.

The Zorro III bus has a theoretical bandwidth of 150 MByte/s, based on an ideal Zorro III master and slave device running with minimum setup and hold times.[1][2][3] The real transfer speed between the Amiga 3000/4000 implementation of Zorro III and a Zorro III card is somewhere around 13.5 MByte/s due to the limitations of the Buster chip.[4] This was comparable to Intel's first PCI implementation, which peaked at 25 MByte/s. Zorro III was optimized for future single-chip implementations of the protocol, but the resources available at Commodore in 1990 limited the initial implementation.

This is also the limiting factor with 3rd party Amiga PCI expansion boards like e.g. Elbox Mediator PCI or the Matay Prometheus PCI (about 12 MByte/s PCI to 68k-system). DMA transfers between two Zorro III cards (or PCI cards on an PCI expansion board) can be much faster.[5]

Zorro is a fictional character created almost 100 years ago by Johnston McCulley. Ever since then, there were tens of movies, cartoons and other books portraying his journey helping commoners and saving them from various villains.

While other companies are releasing dozens of games related to Marvel and DC superheroes, Aristocrat decided to go with the mystical and unique character by the name of Zorro.

As the priority was to make the game look as realistic as possible and putting all the main characters as the symbols, Aristocrat went with the well-known structure:

Zorro Slots Game

  • 5 Reels
  • 3 Rows
  • 25 Paylines

It was a nice surprise to see that the paylines are optional considering that their previous machines were mainly with the fixed version, or with the ways to win system included.

Zorro Slots Play For Fun

Everyone recognizes Aristocrat games by multiple unique features implemented in all of their games, and the Zorro slot machine might have the most interesting ones so far according to all the positive reviews and feedback received by thousands of gamblers from all over the world.

The Zorro Betting Range

Whether you are a low, mid or high roller, there is a perfect bet size in the Zorro slot. The two values that you can change in order to affect the final stake are:

Zorro Slot
  • Paylines
  • The bet per line

The minimum amount that you can place on each line is $0.01, and that’s the lowest you can find amongst all slot machines. The maximum total wager, without activating the special feature is $62.50 ($2.50 per line). This can go up to $87.50, if you decide to turn on the Zorro bonus addition.

This betting range is more than enough for all the people playing, with the exception of some high rollers who can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a single spin. However, $87.50 is close enough to the hundred, and even if you are one of those high-rollers, make sure to give it a try as you can win up to x500 per line just from the special feature, while all 5 wilds on an active payline pay 5000 coins!

The Zorro Bonus Feature

In order to have as much fun as you can by playing this game, we recommend playing for free for some time, as all the additional features differ from any other you played so far, and understanding how everything works is crucial.

Zorro

The first thing to know is that both scatter and wild symbols are included in the game. Our main character is presented on the wild card and it substitutes for all the regular signs, while the barrel is the scatter icon.

Landing 3 scatters allows you to choose anywhere between 5 and 20 free games along with the multipliers ranging from x2 up to x15.

By clicking the Zorro Bonus button in the bottom right corner, you activate the Zorro bonus feature. This will cost you some credits, as the wager will increase according to the bet per line x10 formula.

After the activation, any regular sign on the table might bring one of the letters from our main character’s name. If all five letters appear on the reels, a new screen with 15 golden coins is presented. Keep clicking the coins until two matching values appear. That amount will then be immediately transferred to your balance.

The Gamble Feature

If you are not happy with the value of the prize, gotten from the winning combination formed on the reels, you can always gamble all of that.

Zorro slot game

Click the Gamble button below the reels in order to get to the gambling section, where you can see a face-down card with both colors and all four suits next to it.

In order to double up the amount, pick one of the colors, or click one of the four suits in order to try to quadruple it. If your guess matches the color or the suit of the face-down card you can keep going. Keep in mind that everything is lost once the guess is incorrect.

The RTP for this game is 95.5% which is quite high for a game that has wilds, scatters, bonus features, free spins and multipliers available!
