Do what I did and stuff a bridgeboard into your Amiga. With an isa graphics card and sound card you’ve then got an authentic DOS machine inside an Amiga

This looks cool are those boards Still Available though?

Second/third/fourth hand these days, they’re not produced anymore, and they’ll cost a fair whack of cash.

There’s a Commodore one for sale on Amibay right now but it ain’t cheap:

Those cards look cool but very expensive plus you need the big box amiga at more cost.

If you've got the desk space an old pc can be picked up super cheap or another option if you're short on space is to get an old laptop.

nathanm1991 · 10 May 2019, 12:02

ahh see I only have the A1200 Now I had to Lower my Collection due to Space. Maybe I will Stick to my PC for now

Yeah, you pay through the nose for a one box Amiga/dos pc solution. It does work really well though especially if you upgrade the cpu to an 8k cache TI variant. It’ll then run doom (if that’s what you’re going for) at the same speed as an 030 50mhz Amiga. The GoldenGate boards in conjunction with the monitor master allow you to share monitor plus keyboard and mouse and then just Alt-Amiga N between workbench and dos. It works seamlessly.

I Stopped chasing Doom running on a Amiga a Long time ago :-)

I am soon to be putting all my old motherboards with processors and memory on board, all working on ebay soon, also have a Righteous Orchid 3DFX card and Awe64 soundcard etc

lesta_smsc · 19 May 2019, 14:44

I have some old hardware too. Including various TV cards and a motherboard with on board graphics card and processor included. Can't remember speed of processor. Motherboard is: MCP73VT-PM

BullyDog · 19 May 2019, 16:34

I also got quite a few old stuff. Like the Gforce 6200 256mg VC, SB Prodigy SC, 1 Ghz AMD Duron CPU and AMD 1700 CPU to name a few.
