You should mention in the listing it requires a GVP A530 or Series II expansion.

"it have a original gelatine"


^^^ Does that mean like "still shrinkwrapped"?

[amigadave]

I have always wanted this item to put in my A530 and make it complete, but not at that price.  I mean it is only a 286 after all.

Good luck with your sale, someone else will probably pay it, because it is new and you don't see them for sale too often, but for me, I guess PCTask, or PCx (the e586 emulator) will have to do for my old MSDOS games.

Yes it have...

Ouch! I bought one (new, still shrink wrapped) off eBay about 8 months ago for $30.00. The biggest problem with these things, is that they are slow!! I think the biggest problem (speed wise)is in the video emulation.
It was so painful I sold the thing for what I paid for it, months back.

Hmm, yeah nice. But $140? Screw that.

Yeah, I saw that.  Fact is I was just about to put a bid in on it and the danged thing jumped like somebody had shoved a cattle prod up it's, well, you know...

To say the least, I was shocked to see it go that high.  I figured you'd get around $100 +/-.

Good for you, not so much for me.

There will always be some people on eBay with more money than common sense.

DId it ever occur that these things ran like total crapola back in the day? Had a golden Gate 486sx25 mhz in my A3000T, with a Winstorm Sound and VGA card... now that was nice...this is a bridgeboard without the ISA slots. No VGA...it uses the Amiga graphics. Did anyone try running windows on a 286?

For the massochist with money to throw away and time to waste.

Unreal..

Man! Is that just the difference 8 or 9 months can make?!
Collectors are something else - but I can't imagine anyone paying that to actually try to use the thing.

Did it at least work better than PCTask or CrossPC for DOS stuff?  I have one of these in my closet that I've never hooked up as I got it around the time I moved up to my 4000D.  I think I picked it up for about $30 as well.

Mainly, I would have used it for some of my classes in which we were using RM*COBOL, plus I have Turbo Pascal and a couple of other programming languages on it.  Also, there's this awesome DOS manager program called StupenDOS, which I'd liken to a DOS version of an early Directory Opus.

I figure this card with a 287 fpu would have to run better than CrossPC on my 4000/060... right?

Of course, these days I could just fire up DOS 6.22 in a VirtualPC, Bocks, or VirtualBox environment.  ::shrugs::
