I have purchased two of these now, only have received 1 so far and am working through setting it up and getting it optimized. I figured i would share the Journey here in case some others end up with one of these.
Thus far finding any documentation on the has been really tuff! No online manuals I have found so far and just a few references. I somehow landed here on these forums which I really like so far! Pragmatic advice and people willing to help! Thank you all. So in the spirit of the kindness demonstrated so far, I will try to give back a little as I forge ahead.
My background? Skip if such thinks cause nausea, I will keep it short. First computer experience, TRS-80 and Atari 400. First computer owned, Commodore Vic 20, then C64, Brief 128, Amiga, Amiga 500, Amiga 2000 with X86 on Bridgeboard, Amiga 1200, then Compaq 386, Self Build 486, Self Build Pentium, Mac Power PC, etc mostly Mac Intel and Predominately Intel going forward. Former Amiga Sysop, FIDONET (Yeah, remember that?) Desktop Support and OS Fantastic in the 90's, etc. Nostalgia! That's why I do retro now, those were the good ole days and tech was still exciting!
I have been on a Retro Computing Experience Computer Journey for past two years and when I do something, I usually go deep. I have been collecting some of my past haunts as well as some I never experienced yet still had curious interest. You can see what I am up to in more detail at commodorenow.com. I know it might seem like a plug, however, if you learned more about me, its that I document so that when things get pushed out of my brain, I can return to my notes. And I share so others may benefit if they can as well.
Okay, so I have two of these or will soon. 8MB Memory, SB Compatible sound card and some kind of onboard EGA/VGHA Video Processor. Revisiting the past of some almost 30 years on this is crazy. I remember some things amazingly. HD Limits, IRQ Management, DOS, Win 3.11, OS/2 all the versions, Windows all the versions, and many other ODD ball OS's.
While I was an OS fanatic in part for my love of Amiga OS, I also enjoyed the tech and the games. My work paid enough it afforded me many upgrades over the years.
So here we go again!
Let's do this!
