Lynxpro #1 Posted February 22, 2011 Does any AtariAge users own one of the reported ST models with a socket on the motherboard for installing an Intel 8086/286 CPU? Back in the day, I read about some models being offered as such but never had a confirmation they truly existed. If they did, I believe they were prior to the introduction of the STe models but I could be mistaken... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason, I though they were conceived, but then never actually made it into production. I've got this picture... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fletch #3 Posted February 23, 2011 I had a 286 board in my Falcon030. I think it was a paltry 16 Mhz affair, but functional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynxpro #5 Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I apologize for not writing the thread title clearer... My bad!

Based on the address from that chart, that mobo was designed by Styra Semiconductor/Atari Microsystems... Edited February 23, 2011 by Lynxpro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
