- With the recent discussion about PC cards for the Archimedes I was wondering
- has anyone got one? The things I am intereted in knowing are the following:
-
- 1) How compatible are they?
- 2) What is the windows performance like (given the ARM acceleration factor)?
- (comments for arm2 250 and 3 would be interesting)
- 3) What is the non windows graphics performance like? (for example games)
- 4) To what extent is VGA supported? For example is 800*600*16 supported under
- windows? Are 256 colour modes supported?
- 5) Is there any high speed communication between the "PC" and the archimedes?
- in other words is it possible to use the 386/486 in your archimedes
- programming.
- 6) General comments on usefulness and completeness as a PC setup.
