The Holy Grail of A2000 Accelerators...
« on: March 19, 2012, 07:58:29 PM »
I vaguely remembered an Accel. for the A2000 that was so awesome I had to have it.  Back in the day when I had four or five A2000s I drooled over the specs and dreamed of getting this uber card that had stuff like Networking,  high end video card, etc. etc...

Looking now over the BBOAH I was starting to think I was hallucinating because I could never find it.  Well, my problem was that I thought it was either a GVP or DCE/Phase-5 product when it was the...

DKB WILDFIRE!!!!

DROOL!!!!!!

So who out there has one?  How well does it work?  Do you have the Inferno Graphics card also?  I no longer have anything with an A2000 CPU slot, but I'd love to hear how this thing works!:insane:

That thing is crazy awesome!  How hard would it be to make a card like this today with 128MB on the board with a 100baseT attached and, heck, no scsi but a decent IDE? Heck - throw a USB on there for good measure.


Right?!?!  How cool would THAT be!!!!!!

SWEET!

How does it hold up with older programs?  Gurus?  What about the networking and the Inferno.  DO you have any feel for those one way or another?
