Socket 370 inside an amiga....?

[pyrre]

Anyone know what board this is?

[rkauer]

 Never even read or gossip about the existence of such board.

 Neither Amiga-hardware sites have any information about it. Interesting, to say the least. :-o

It's a single board computer which uses a spare ISA slot for power, it's nothing specific to Amiga's.

Don't get excited, this is not an Amiga Bridgeboard type device. There have been many SBC's (Single Board Computers) over the years. This one will simply get power from the ISA slot and absolutely no direct communication with the Amiga. You will have to use a different keyboard, mouse, monitor etc.

Not a bridge board, a stand alone computer.

yes, this is simply one of the SingleBoardComputers. There are dozens of them on ebay if you search. They just take power from the ISA bus. While physically inside the Amiga, it's a stand alone PC which doesn't share any resources. You can even put a Pentium 4 inside your Amiga this way.

Sounds like just tossing a loose pentium four inside the case would be the same thing.

here is the P4 one. there is also link to downloadable user manual.

And here is a link to a shop who sells SBCs and backplanes....
And of course this....

But it is just strange to put it inside an amiga and sell it as if it was a true amiga product...
What people wont do for money...

I can see some specific uses for it, being connected to the Amiga by a nullmodem outside the case. The only real advantage would be less desk clutter. Obviously not an Amiga product though.

You could install winXP on the thing and WinUAE and run faster than the host machine :-D  :crazy:
