Hardware assisted PC emulation

Nice Wiki Mike! BTW, I was going to mention that my Buddha only gets 1.3MB/s transfer rate... :furious:

A2000HD w/2MB Chip, 128MB Fast, P5:Blizz 2060@50MHz, 4GBHDD, Buddha, TrueIDE, XSurf100, RapidRoad, IndiECS, MiniMegi, CD-RW, Kitchen Sync, SunRize AD516, Toaster 2K, Toaster Flyer, WB3.9

Man, your sig line for your A2000 is getting long, Rog!    Don't worry, I got a little something-something coming to me from Finland for mine that I've spent two years trying to track down, it's anybody's guess if it'll work when it gets here though, but should help boost my spec a bit.  You still don't have a graphics card, though, and my 600x 8GB PFS-formatted CF card beats that speed, but not by a whole lot, I'm limited by the (relatively) slow interface on my GVP.  

Hey, just noticed - does your Toaster & Toaster-Flyer work under 3.9 or are you dual-booting?  I thought I remember reading in a couple places the Toaster software only worked up to Workbench 3.5?

@Brian

Sounds quite similar to the AteoBus expansion for ythe A1200. Any connection between the two projects I wonder?

LOL... long sig, short on functionality at the moment. :lol:

What's new in your bag of tricks Mike? Do Tell!!! :laugh1:

I need to revise my stat for the Buddha, it's 1.8MB/s... still :furious:
I need to start a Buddha thread... find out what's up with this... :confused:
@Brian, did you get your Buddha and TruIDE installed? What's your transfer rate?

Graphics card.... Hmmm... I was also wondering, if the Toaster board goes in the video slot, how does one use a Toaster board, a video card and and accelerator all at the same time in an A2000? 16 colors with WB3.9 $ucks... :lol:

BTW, does this work? Anyone here tried it?

You are correct, Toaster no worky with WB3.9. That's why I got the TruIDE as it can dual boot and I'll be running WB2.1 on the second CF card. I'm still working things out with the 2GB CF test card at the moment. Still wondering what to do about the 2 dead 4GB CF cards I got from... cough... cough... you know who that were supplied with the TruIDE. Anyways getting off topic... (I should start a new A2000 thread - so many Q's) hope we can continue bridgeboard alternatives here. Why? I don't know... it's fun.

Switch to the Rebel palette!  It's beautiful under 3.9, especially if your use Super Plus 800x600 on the Indivision.

Guess you'll have to research using a video card at the same time as a Toaster.  Since the Toaster only clicks on when you load it's specific software though it might be possible, right?  Worst case scenerio you dual-boot a 3.9 system with Picasso96 or CGX for your day-to-day, and a stock 3.1 or 2.x for when you want to use the Toaster.  Hummm....

Yup, got the IndiECS flashed and am using 800x600 Super Plus. Thanks for the link... I'm only concentrating on the OS3.9 side for now since I know that all the Toaster stuff works with WB2.1 as I tested it all about - THREE FRICKEN YEARS AGO! - I know... pathetic! :hammer: Got sidetracked with A1200's! Anyhoo, I don't even know IF peeps used graphics cards with the Toaster. Guess it doesn't matter much though as I'll still be using WB2.1 with the dual boot. So, back to the "day to day" (as you put it) WB3.9 side, I guess at this point, excluding some technical stuff, just wanna get it to be a great multimedia machine with way more colors without adding a dedicated graphics card as I guess I can't do that with a Toaster... Uggggh! I wish there was a user's group here! :lol:  Hey Mikey, you wouldn't be getting a holographic teleporter card from Denmark would you? :roflmao:

I wish!

I know man, lack of users groups is pretty depressing.    Still gotta figure out my plan for going to that Amiga30 thing in Mountain View!  If I can figure it out then you can figure it out, hehe.  

[giZmo350]

What's the Amiga30 thing? I think I missed that... :confused:

Denmark now... I meant Finland... You gonna keeps us in the dark till it arrives? Just as well, I love surprises! :lol:

How'd you miss this?

Admittedly a lot of news has gone "unnoticed" on this site, lately.  *sigh*

And yes, totally in the dark!  Gotta see if it (they) work, first!

There are some FPGA add on boards for Rasberry Pi. Could any of those be turned into a Minimig?

I don't know where this story comes from that the Toaster does not work with OS 3.9.  I have an A2000 and an A4000 with Toasters that work with OS3.9.  That is until the A4000 Toaster went poof one day but it ran for a couple years with OS3.9 just fine.  There is an issue with the newest Toaster installer that it overwrites some libs with older ones but restoring them after the install completes puts everything back where it should.
