oky2000 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I believe there was at least one 286 add-on internal card for the ST line of machines, but I can't remember it and hence bit pointless looking to ever find one. Was it called AT-Once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Not a card, but there's the external Talon Supercharger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oky2000 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 I was pretty sure in the early days of the ST (1986 etc) as well as 16mhz accelerator cards there were internal co-processor cards with 8086 and later 80286 CPUs for hardware DOS emulation. Maybe I am getting confused with the Amiga products that did the same but I was sure there was at least one for the ST as well. Maybe my memory is not so good these days haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my memory is not so good these days haha No, you're right - they did make some. I think they were called something like "AT286" or maybe "AT16"? They were also VME models for the Mega STe, etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 AT Speed was not a plug in card - it had to be soldered in (I have one) - I cant remember if it wasn a 286 or 8086 - it was slow I know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it called AT-Once? At-once was an Amiga add-on that plugged into the 68000 socket. I never owned one, but I think it let your Amiga emulate a 286, but using the Amiga for the graphics slowed things down too much for most games. It was mostly useful for running application software. There were similar products for the ST, but I don't think they were any faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I had a 286 plug in board in my Falcon030. It was basically useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuji-Man Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi all, I think I have one in my 1040STe that plugged in to a socket.
