DId it ever occur that these things ran like total crapola back in the day? Had a golden Gate 486sx25 mhz in my A3000T, with a Winstorm Sound and VGA card... now that was nice...this is a bridgeboard without the ISA slots. No VGA...it uses the Amiga graphics. Did anyone try running windows on a 286?
Did it at least work better than PCTask or CrossPC for DOS stuff? I have one of these in my closet that I've never hooked up as I got it around the time I moved up to my 4000D. I think I picked it up for about $30 as well.
Mainly, I would have used it for some of my classes in which we were using RM*COBOL, plus I have Turbo Pascal and a couple of other programming languages on it. Also, there's this awesome DOS manager program called StupenDOS, which I'd liken to a DOS version of an early Directory Opus.
I figure this card with a 287 fpu would have to run better than CrossPC on my 4000/060... right?
Of course, these days I could just fire up DOS 6.22 in a VirtualPC, Bocks, or VirtualBox environment. ::shrugs::
