#68881 Emulator
5 messages in this thread
Mark,
What do you want one for?
I would like one so that I can run programs that require a 68881 on my A1000.
Also, programs that can take advantage of one will run somewhat faster.
Mark,
I disagree that programs that could take advantage of one will run
faster. On the Amiga there are math libraries which WILL take advantage
of an '881 should it exist. Most Amiga programs are written like that.
OK. Thanks, I got some more info. on it and it's the usual Amiga
superiority blessing (although sometimes a problem if you're still on
an A1000). I like (love) the Amiga product line, I just wish that
Commodore had kept the A1000 somewhat upgradeable. Oh well, I guess
someday soon I'll have to break down and shell out the dough for an
A1200 or similar. Thanks again.
According to this months AW, there is an expansion box now available for the
A1000/500 which adds A2k and/or PC slots, with a 200 or 230w power supply. It
also claims to be able to interface a toaster card as well….
It's in the new product area in the front of the mag… Good luck!
