Many moons ago, I remember running the PCx emulation and getting a semi usable performance for DOS on an 040/RTG setup.

Ah, nostalgia.

I distinctly remember adverts for a third party 486 based bridge board. Does that ring any bells?

Golden Gate? Was that it?

Phwoarr.

My friend had an Acorn RiscPC with some form of pentium card expansion. It was pretty cool, the display was mapped into a window on RiscOS. I remember us getting quake running on it.

I seem to recall that lurking in the gallery here somewhere is a picture of some weird Pentium 2 on an ISA card (probably an industrial controller or something) wedged into an Amiga. Whether or not it worked, no idea. I would assume it was completely isolated from the system.
