SOTA 286I
Yes, the RAM disk is "awakened" during the startup-sequence. I like the
SOTA 286i alot. The speed is comparable to a PC with the exception of DISK
access (hard disks). I use the board's speed with Schematic Capture
packages and Spread Sheets.
My full system is composed of Amiga 2000, GVP Series II Hard Disk
controller, 50 Meg Hard Drive (split 36/10: Amiga/Bridgeboard), CBM 2 Meg
Ram Expansion, Super VGA Monitor, 1084 Monitor, IBM bus internal modem amd
the SOTA 286i.
I like the SOTA 286i since it provide me with comparable speed as with my
PS/2 Model 50 at work, without having to buy another machine. Best of all
(of course) was the price as compared to the cost of a A20286 board.
