WTB: Amiga 2000 486 Bridgeboard

[Hammer]

Save2600, you beat me to it....
 
 
Actually the Pentium in theory is the 585, I believe intel did not have the trademark on that so that is why they called in pentium (Penta = 5). The 686 (sixth generation) was the Pentium Pro and its derivatives (Pentium II and Pentium III). At least this is what I rememeber of the top of my head
 
II

Family = 6th.

Intel Core™ i7-720QM Processor still uses 80xxx i.e. aka 80601

486 bridgeboard went for about 30 bucks last week on scumbay I think...may have been week before.

They do have a cool factor though yes. R@RE just means it's expensive until the next cash stricken person lists it up on scumbay for 0.99 on a free listing weekend lol

Stuff is only worth what ONE person will pay as a maximum, reality is nobody actually wants most of this stuff and it goes for peanuts when it does appear on scumbay so comes down to how desperate people are. I sold The Pawn on 5 1/4 floppy for a 'RARE' format for 60+ bucks, but without that one guy it would have gone for 15-20 probably.

Well, you are right about what ONE person is willing to pay. There is a beautiful Commodore A2386SX BridgeBoard on ebay right now. It's located in Budapest, Hungary and is going for some crazy cash. Comes with Janus software. I'm so tempted to get it. The fun factor would be great. Thanks for this great input guys as I have always wanted a bridgeboard in an A2000 since the machine orginally debuted back in the day. I would read the magazine ads and reviews over and over back then. hahaha. Thanks for this great link http://members.iinet.net.au/~davem2/overclock/a2386.html spirantho! I have a lot of old PC expansion cards; SB, IDE, Video, etc... to make the project complete. This would be a fun project! And thanks again on everyone's great input on this subject! I'm still going to keep an eye everyday on ebay though for some possible better prices.

Just out of curiosity is there some place where I can find a technical description of how the bridge board interfaces with the Amiga and how the Janus software works?

I couldn't find it at a better location, it's one of those mega-download places.

That is the Amiga A500 A2000 Technical Reference Manual_1987.pdf

Section 4 has a lot of information on one version of the Bridgeboard including memory maps and a good description of the Janus library.

I have tried SoftPC emulator for MacOS under Shapeshifter and have ran MIPS again.

I can't believe an emulator running into another emulator would perform better than a native amiga emulator (PCTask), MIPS is definilty a meaningless program after all.
