+1

 its just a plugin card, its not installed at bougt time, so i have to pay
extre for this, on the page it says emulation, while it is a real 286 onboard,
hmm :=)

yes the 286 runs msdos perfektly fine, async with amiga at same time, if you
have a z80 mbc, it would be like plug a uterm on that to see msdos screen on
linux :=) (via usb cable)

i also have a atonce, with is a card to plugin on the 68000 amiga cpu, the
pc286 is just one for gvp harddisk controller

it was cool at the time it existed, i just wonder if it could run fidonet
software on the pc side of it, the amiga ram could be used in msdos as
highmem, so no problem with this, i did not have networking, just amiga
harddisk file shareing, eq northon command could move files from amiga to the
virtual harddisk on the pc side, and visa versa
