Vortex ATonce Plus user manual

btp · 03 September 2020, 10:56

Looking for some help here from owners of the Vortex ATonce Plus 286 emulation card for the A500.
I myself have one installed in my original 500 from back in the day.

Does anyone has the user manual of this card in PDF format (image for reference)?
I can't find it anywhere in the usual Amiga-related websites.
It seems that there is available only the one of the original ATonce card (not Plus).

It would be great if you can provide me with a PDF of it!

Thanks in advance!

I'm still looking for that one!

In a pinch, consider the GVP PC/286 manual. The boards and their software are very similar.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt!

I'm aware that GVP's PC 286 module is based on ATonce Plus but still I would like to have a copy of the original Vortex ATonce Plus card.

There is a gazillion of Amiga hardware manuals out there so it's indeed a mystery why no one has scanned and uploaded this already!

So please dear Vortex ATonce Plus card owners out there help a fellow user!

Perfectly reasonable. I would feel the same way if there was a missing piece I was looking for.

It is strange that this hasn’t turned up after all these years. I wonder, does the manual only exist in German? Maybe the a1k guys can help?

Here is manual for ATonce 386SX for Atari:

And ATonce for Amiga:

rygar many thanks for the links!

Unfortunately both are for completely different models and also in German.
The photo I've included in my original post (one that I've found online) proves that an English user manual for the Vortex ATonce Plus model does exists!

If it's still relevant to you, I have scanned in the manual and uploaded it:

Really grateful for your help!
Many thanks for all the trouble of scanning and uploading the manual!

You're very welcome @btp :-)

all of the links here are not found. I'm looking for the English manual

the DMS image for system disk is also seemingly in German, at least for the ppmore readme that pops up
