Post by: Tenacious on December 26, 2007, 02:09:06 AM
Has anyone seen an electronic version of the manual for this expansion?

Ah ha!  You must be the one that outbid me when I wasn't paying attention to that auction on eBay!

No, I don't know where you can get the manual, but I would think that it should be on the net somewhere.  Good luck finding it and if you decide that you no longer want that expansion, let me know.

Congrats.

I scanned the manual and imaged the driver disk and sent them to amiga hardware database long time ago (long time > 1 year), but somehow they didn't get it up. pm me your mail and I'll send them your way.

btw, the driver seems to have some issues. I've never got it running stable on my A530 setup.

@ AmigaDave

It wasn't me.  I have the card and disks already but no manual.  If no one had bid, I would have just for the manual.  I was a bit surprised how much it went for.  Everything Amiga related seems to be gaining in value on eBay.

I wonder if other vintage computers are surging in value.  The Hp-85 is.


@ Countzero

I'm very interested.  I only have the GVP HD+, maybe the timing will be better.

Are you interested in selling it to me?

@ Tenacious & AmigaDave;
   Are you guys aware of how slow the PC286 is? The problem is the video drivers. I used to have one, but sold it off. It was just too frustrating!
    You would be better off buying a 286 Bridgeboard for a Zorro slot Amiga. Save yourselves the headaches.
