I disagree. My A2286 works just fine. Not as good as my Goldengate 486 of course, but nonetheless....

You can use it for playing old PC games if you like... stuff like the early Wizardry and Ultima games are worth playing and will work perfectly I should think.

Best thing to do is to go search PC Abandonware sites. Oh, and stick an SVGA card in it too. You'll need a monitor switcher of course, but you can't do much with CGA, so it's a very worthwhile purchase. And if you can get an original 8-bit Soundblaster II that'd help if you like sound.

There's stuff out there, but to find the good stuff you have to be a bit more imaginitive than finding good stuff on old Amigas.

You could indeed. Or if you were really clever you'd just download etherbridge12.lha off the aminet instead. :)
