I missed the beginning of this thread. Are you referring to a "bridgeboard" type arrangement for the A500? // \X/ Lee Scoggins – "Too bad life doesn't come with instructions!"

No, its a third party 8 MHz Turbo PC Board that fits in the RAM expansion port of the A500. The company is Pulsar and they are currently taking advanced orders.

Steve, What else can you tell me about this card? Does it use the internal or external Amiga drives for storage? Can you access a hard drive? Does it have the 512K Ram onboard? Cost? Sorry for this barrage of questions, but this sounds like just what I've been looking for. Lee 😉 // \X/ Lee Scoggins – "Too bad life doesn't come with instructions!"

I don't know whether it works with a hard drive. It does take over the entire machine and takes advantage of all floppy disks attached. The price is $550. PC side has 704K + 64K EMS, Amiga side has 512K RAM expand. Pheonix Bios. NEC * MHz V30. MSDOS 4.01, CGA, Hercules and monchrome are all listed as included features.

I was told that the hard drive support isn't there yet, but "RSN." —Scott
