Hi!

A friend asked me if the Atonce 286 card is compatible with Vampire 500 v2.

Does anyone know the answer? Has anyone tried it?

My friend is considering buying a Vampire.

If it is this kind of board

They take 68000 socket, effectively not making any use of Vamp possible.

But why 286 in hardware, when Vamp emulates 386 in DOSBox RTG?

Sorry, I don't know this.
 
This card is rather rare and none of us has it.
So we could not test this.
 
As mentioned you can on AMIGA emulate x86 with PC-Task or other software - and the Vamp will run this emulated PC faster than a real 286 CPU was.

I have this card as well, unfortunately. It's was in my 1000 when I bought it used, and I don't know how to get it out of the 68K socket without damaging something.
