Message-ID: <1990Nov15.045613.4486@ucselx.sdsu.edu> Date: 15 Nov 90 04:56:13 GMT References: <1990Nov11.232040.5134@stretch.cs.mun.ca> <15828@cbmvax.commodore.com> <60592@unix.cis.pitt.edu> Organization: San Diego State University Computing Services Lines: 31 I saw an ad on AmigaWorld recent issue about this ATonce: an 80286 on a daughterboard w/ a custom gate array to make up most chips of a 286 motherboard, and a 68000; a very small card which can be pluged into the 68000 socket in a A500 (or with a cable, to a A2000 slot, I didn't understand that one). It works as a task on AmigaDOS, requires 1MB, and uses the serial, parallel port, mouse (as MicroSoft mouse), keyboard, floppy drive (5.25 and 3.5), and harddrive (Pulsar XT board for A500 doesn't support HD). Screen emulation includes Herculus, CGA, Toshiba 3100 (?), and some odd one. list price is $398 (pretty good, isn't it :-) Clock speed is 7.2Mhz. Now I would like to know some more info. Does it work on an acclerated Amiga? (Seems like it runs as the same clock, so it probably uses the clock from Amiga). Either run on accelerated clock, or just 7.2MHz (slow but ok) Is it possible to make it run on A3000? (the description on how it connects to an A2000 is confusing) If yes, I might buy the A3000 without worrying another $1000 for an A2286 or a clone. Please reply by e-mail if possible. I hope the info is useful, I am not related to the company producing the product (from Germany).
