Amiga 500 IC issues

[JimS]

I agree with save2600.... pull that AtOnce board & put the 68000 back in it's socket.... then take the AtOnce outside, run a Humvee over it a couple times, burn it, then scatter the ashes at midnight in a graveyard. ;-) I used to work at an Amiga store, and we had nothing but trouble with those. If you need a peecee, well, much better machines than a 286 can be had for nothing these days.

Wow!
That must really have been a bunch of "experts", if they had nothing but trouble with the Vortex AtOnce286!

I used the Vortex AtOnce286 on a daily basis for roughly 9 years and haven't ever had a single problem with it.

Brilliant piece of hardware and really useful back then, if you ask me.

Well, it's a small sample size in both cases... you had good luck with your 1 sample, My 2 or 3 customers had bad with theirs. It had nothing to do with their expertise, they experienced the same sort of random problems and general flakiness the the first poster mentioned. It might have been useful back then, now it's just a problem or at best a curiosity..
