I have an 486@133Mhz on a ISA card. It is a full computer with RAM VGA IDE Serial, Parallel, LAN all on a card. But DO NOT PLUG IT INTO YOUR AMIGA!!!!

These devices might look ISA or PCI cards but they are actually the opposite. They DRIVE the bus. So you're in for some trouble putting it into a slot that is already driven. Basically you should plug these cards into dumb bussboards so you can use other cards the device can drive.

amigas isa slots are a dumb busboards. so they should be ok but mediator and g-rex boards are not they would need a sbc capable of bus nagotiation and mastering.

Perhaps you can use PowerLeap Renaissance with 1 GHz P3 or Omnicluster / 14 South SlotServer (700 MHz P3).

Unfortunately both cards are no longer available from the vendors.
