PC Emulator
« on: December 04, 2008, 01:04:32 PM »
Hi,

If I buy a PC emulator for my A500+ then I could install an old version of Windows? Or? What is the actual use of this device?

Thanks and Regards,
Sim085

Well, if I could install Windows 3.1 then I would consider buying it ... Windows 2.0 would also be nice I guess!

To run Windows 3.1 a 040/060, or a 386 card, is required to have a decent speed.

hmmm ... but didn't these cards come with their own processors? or they still made use of the Amiga processor in order to function?

aaa .. ok thanks :) well from my research so far I did not find any card with a 386 processor for the A500+! So I guess 3.1 would be a little impossible!

There are 486SX upgrades for 286 chips available.  Hard to find, but available.


Do you know if these where for any accelerator card with a 286 chip? Also is it possible to upgrade it even more? 586?
