   Hello Joacim!

Well, when the G-Force 030 maps the memory to a different address space then it
 might work. Maybe you can check the address spaces against this table:
https://amigacoding.com/index.php/Amiga_memory_map or
http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD_2.1/Hardware_Manual_guide/node00D4.html
(or others)

Additionally, there might be some special functions the G-Force might use
together with the GVP bridgeboard which the VXL cannot use.

Anyway, I doubt that you will have a real speed improvement with use the NE2000
 NIC on the PC side from AmigaOS. It will be quite slow and maybe it's better
to buy a real Amiga NIC instead.

Ingo
