To any all knowledgeable ATonce!Plus people! Hi, I just have a small question concerning the ATonceplus. I keep reading ads about all the things it can do, but I have yet to see anything that indicates that you can use the expansion connectors in the A2000 once the ATonce is installed. Can you? I mean, I would love to have the ATonce abilities as I do have some DOS <yuck> applications that I could do at home for work, but it would be necessary for me to have VGA which would require a VGA board to be installed. Can anyone answer this one??? I'd much appreciate it. Thanks, Jamie Severe

Jamie… The only PC emulator boards that allow use of the bridged PC slots on the A2000/3000 series computers are the CBM BridgeBoards. However, I thought that ATOncePlus supported VGA output, of sorts (B&W?) Michael ….from the north coast

Hi… The current ATonce cards do not make use of the PC slots in the A2000, but it is rumored that Vortex has announced a 386 card in Europe that will. You may want to wait a while and see. The current ATonce cards have VGA, but in monochrome only (in other words, resolution but no color). Marion CROSSINGS Newsletter for PC/Amiga compatibility

Dr. J, At WOC in Toronto last December I saw an ATonce! Plus running the Windows Solitaire game on a mono interlaced screen with the Workbench screen pulled down in front of it. Pretty impressive. 16MHz. Better than a BB, IMHO. Malcolm
