Hi Amigoids,
I recently saw an ad in Amiga User International for a PC
emulator card which plugs into the A501 slot in a A500, and allows the
Amiga to operate as a I*M clone. It has up to 1.5M memory on it as well.
Now, I see a similar card advertised here in Germany, and it comes complete
with MessyDOS 4.0 and a whole load of goodies.
My main concern is: Has anyone on the list tried one of these
cards and does it work. What (if any) are the MessyDOS limitations, or can
most packages eg Freelance, FrameworkIII ,ACAD etc be run on the Amiga.
If it runs all the popular packages it looks like a really good
buy, as its only 798DM (about 150US$), and it means you get the extra memory
for your Amiga, as well as a I*M clone for that price,
Regards to all
Bill

US$ 150? The only bridgeboard (for A500) I know is a product from Pulsar. I only read about it ( I'm in Brazil, do you remember?) on Amazing Computing and they say it coast US$ 550 !!! I would like to know more about this products too. PS: A Amiga-list on Bitnet?
