Title: 586 ISA PC Card.
Post by: Jabaruk1 on December 11, 2006, 03:28:47 PM

I have just put this PC on a Card which has worked in my 2000 flawlessly on Amibench,It's a dedicated PC on an ISA card with onboard graphics and ethernet, it's also got a PS2 keyboard output on the back.
The card has an AMD 586 P75 cpu on board which is socketed and can be upgraded, it has two simm sockets for up to 128 megs of ram, and has 1 HDD port and 1 Floppy port onboard,I do have more details if anyone is intrested.

maybe you can post a pic?
also, if you add a soundcard on another ISA slot of the amiga, will your card see the sound card? in other words, are the other ISA slots activated?

Is this really working with the Amiga or just powered by an ISA slot?
Never heard of this board before.

Is it not dangerous to use in an A2000?  I once fried the whole mobo using too much boards in my A2000. The PSU is not too reliable for power hungry boards.

This is not an Amiga card and so not a Zorro bridge.

To be honest it is pointless for Amiga use and so underpowered today as a PC.

IF you could also use a real ISA soundcard, it would be nice to run DOS games on that... so u have a nice single retrogaming computer, amiga+whdload and the pc part on a single case...

Hmm, there are lots of similar stuff at ebay (http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&satitle=single+board+computer) with better specs and lower prices.

I wonder how hard would it be to write a driver / hack this baby to make use of the inactive ISA slots ? come on gurus :) shed us some light.
