I have the ATonce by Vortex GmbH, having 8 MHz 80286, and there is the ATspeed that has no big difference when compared to the ATonce. ATonce supports RS232 and other ST hardvare a bit better than ATspeed. There is no big difference in their prices, Hard & Soft A.Herber in Germany has both with same price! But there is something coming that may be worth waiting for... Omega Computer Systems in Germany is about to release a board that contains both 16 MHz MC68000 and 16 MHz 80386SX, both with 16 kb cache and both with socket for math co-processor. It also has max. 3 pcs. 16bit AT- slots for VGA-card etc.! And there is a possibility to have a max of 4 Mb RAM on the board, making real multitasking between TOS and MS-DOS possible! I received these information about 2 months ago as a telefax from the company itself, containing a full price-list. They were not ready for deliver one then, I haven't tried later. *** Jari Lehto, jartsu@otax.hut.fi, s37837k@saha.hut.fi ***
