Hi all! I'm getting ready to upgrade my Amiga 2000HD, and what I need to know about is some potential compatibility problems that I have heard rumored about. Here is what I want to do, I want to put in a G-Force 68030/25Mhz/1MB accellerator in, AND I want to put in the AtOnce Plus 286 emulator board. A friend of mine said that he heard that the two were incompatible. I would hate to lay out over a thousand bucks for these two and come up with incompatible hardware. What does anyone know about these?? Also, what if I want to put a high density 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" drive on AtOnce….is it possible? Anything anyone can tell me about these two would be very helpful. I could go to the A2286, but at 8Mz I would go crazy waiting around (I use a 33Mhz 386 machine at work). I have asked questions here on this forum before and ALWAYS gotten excellent advice….can you help??? Thanks! Jamie Severe [70003,302]

Jamie, Contact the manufacturer's or your dealer and get a guarantee from them that the products will be compatible…or you can return them for a full refund. Or, they could tell you the products aren't compatible. Don

Jamie, I have also heard of the compatibility problem between the GVP accelerator and the AtOnce Plus 286. In this case, since you want to specific verification, it's probably worth your while to call GVP and ask, since they make the G-Force board, and are the US distributor of the ATonce-PLUS. Their phone numbers are: (215) 337-8770 (TEL) (215) 337-9922 (FAX) David PS – would you mind changing your Forum name to your first and last name.

Jamie, Glad to help out, 8) Thanks for changing the handle. (One of the interesting things I've seen CIM do is to use a handle to Join forums. It surprised me once, and so I now when I use CIM for access, I don't have an automatic nickname specified.) David
