MS DOS Emulation

[keropi]

or if you had a big box amiga, u could use one of those cool goldengate cards that are basically a pc on a zorro card that binds with the amiga ...

the goldengate486 indicated above, is as good as a real 486slc  :lol:  I have one on one of my 4000s , it is like having 2 computers in 1 !



here on the test-bench I play Alone In The Dark on the A4000! full speed/gfx/soundblaster sound!

my bridgeboard is a GoldenGate 486slc /25mhz + fpu + isa CL5420 vga 1MB + ISA ESS 1868 soundcard + wavetable expansion.... it perfoms a little more than a real 386DX/40 , and runs currently PC-DOS 7... It cannot run DOOM at steady fps, but 2D games rule... everything that runs OK on  a 386DX/40 runs great on the 486slc too! I had to sacrifice 3 slots of the A4000, but I don't care, on the last one I have a picassoIV+concierto+paloma  :lol: with a csppc and kickflash+subway combo...
It's like having 2 retro-gaming machines in 1 case!

I found an ancient DOS benchmark called mips.com ...
I tested with the gg486/25 and gave me that:

it is 22,72 times faster than a IBM/PC 4,7mhz
it is 5,48 times faster than a IBM/AT 8mhz
it is 2,69 times faster than a Compaq 386

sadly no more info on the hardware or speed of this Compaq386 machine...
