Jim Drew burned many bridges with this card, and ultimately just made himself quite the pariah with the remaining Amiga community, because the card never lived up to the hype. Complete and utter rip-off, compared to actually having an actual BridgeBoard. The "586" emulation required a major hardware change that wasn't available to the early adopters (despite the advertising to the fact), and was a complete fucking dog. (But then again, so was the ShapeShifter card! It was a side effect of more efficient use of the same processor cycles at a given clock speed.)ĭoes this mean that it will emulate a 586DX efficiently? FUCK NO. An Amiga 3000 was literally twice as fast as the equivalent Mac IIcx at the same clock speed. A Zilog SCC was also provided for AppleTalk or Apple serial port emulation. Also known as "Yet another one of Jim Drew's con-games"Įmplant was essentially 3 VIAs on a card, with ROM sockets, and an optional NCR 5380 SCSI controller.
