The A500 Power Board works just like a regular 512K memory expansion for Amiga 500. Just plug it into the trap-door slot of you A500 and you're all set with 1 Megabyte of memory!
But the Power Board is more. In addition to the 512K fastram it will give your Amiga 500, you also get a ramdrive of an extra 512K. The memory for this ramdrive is not taken from the system memory - it's on the card as well!
And just when you thought this was all, the Power Board brings the world of PC to your Amiga. Mounted on the Power Board is a NEC V30 16-bit microprocessor which will run MS-Dos up to version 6.22. The Power Board software will turn your Amiga 500 into a PC, using the Amiga 500's built-in ports for input and output, and the Amiga's custom chips for video emulation. complete with SoundBlaster emulationLast but not least, the Power Board comes with a battery-powered real-time clock, so your Amiga will keep track of time!
PLEASE NOTE : Software is NOT included - but can be downloaded here free-of-charge


ATTENTION : Price INCLUDES insured postage to U.K, Ireland or any other European country!

I've got one of these in my A500.  Hardly ever used it, it was only useful for the odd DOS app as it was a bit too slow for anything else.  You could very slowly play some old games though.

I didn't know the software for it was freely available, I'm going to do an update and see if there have been any improvements since my version.

This NEC V30 can be considered with what x86 ? what speed is this processor running ?

How much RAM does the PC have access to ?

What about parallel, serial port, HD/FLOPPY,...
