#BB Accelerators
5 messages in this thread
I'd like to make a list of all working '286 and '386 accelerators for the
bridgeboard. I'll keep all replies and make a "report" at the end listing the
results. Come on, give me those comments. PC/Elevator '386 yes, Inboard '386
no. Got that much. What else…

Ethan,
Orchid 286e works, Orchid Tiny Turbo doesn't.

Hi Don,
Say, I just remembered something I heard from a friend of mine who works at a
dealer down the road a bit. They apparently got an accelerator board from
Tallgrass Technologies to work with the Bridge. There was a trick to it
however. Something about it not being real clear how you plugged it into the
BB (with a cable to chip socket I assume) and if you get it wrong, it fries the
accelerator. They finally figured it out though. I'll get some more info. and
upload it. Just thought you'd be interested. Ah right, the bottom line is the
card is only in the $550 range (much better than the 286e) but of of course
doesn't have any memory (as the 286e does I understand).
Take Care….

Kevin,
Yes…I'd be interested in that information…if you can get it, I'd
appreciate it.

I think we should also take note of the system the board was tested on. As I
said somewhere else, the AST Hotshot ran in a A2000 with 1.2 Roms but NOT with
1.3 ROMS. Unless something else is queer about my machine…
