I wanted to purchase the Atonce (IBM emmulator) and have heard that GVP is
(was) testing it on an A2000 with a 68030. Anyone have one with the bracket
running under the GVP? I am inquisitive on if it is done or even if it is
available (probably not since I have a standing order for one). Will contact
GVP engineering Dept today , and post any news I may find, but would
appreciate any feedback from atonce owners.

The only good 8 bit computer is a Actually, does it work on A2000 series at all??? The ad only mentions that A500 works as it is, A2000 can/must use a adapter board to CPU slot. If it works for A500 in the CPU socket, it should also work on A2000's 68000 socket....(No?) -TG +-----------------------------------------------------------+-------------+ | Yeo-Hoon Bae tinyguy@homer.cs.mcgill.ca | Amiga /// | | Dept.

First, since the unit does funky things with the 68000, to use this on a 2500 I imagine you would have to cripple you machine with a 68000 bootup.... No Thanks! Second, by the physical shape of the Atonce and the location of the 68000 in a 2000 series machine, it appears that the little board would run into the coproccessor slot, which now days isn't empty in too many machines so the adapter board idea isn't too brilliant either. Too bad. David -=- "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars.
