vortex Golden Gate the 25MHz 80386SX or 80486SLC PC/AT
Emulator with PC/AT (ISA) Slot support
for the Amiga 2000 and the Amiga 3000
Golden Gate is the powerful PC/AT emulator for the Commodore computer
systems Amiga 2000 and Amiga 3000. It is available in two different versions.
Golden Gate with a 25 MHz 80386SX CPU and Golden Gate 486SLC with a
25 MHz 80486SLC CPU.
Golden Gate converts your Amiga into a versatile and most efficient
multiprocessor and multioperating system offering a wide range of facilities
and extensive access to professional MS-DOS software.
Golden Gate is based on a CMOS 80386SX CPU with 25 MHz clock speed.
Golden Gate 486SLC is based on the high performance 486SLC CPU. also
with 25 MHz clock speed. This CPU is compatible with the 486SX command
set. With lts 32 bit internal and 16 bit external data bus and with 1 KB Cache
on chip It ls up to 2.4 times faster than a 386SX processor with the same clock
frequency.
As a bridge-slot expansion Golden Gate closes the gap between the Amiga's
expansion bus (Zorro bus) and the PC/AT bus (ISA) expansion bus system of
the Amiga. Thus it becomes possible to use the most different PC/AT
expansion cards (e.g. EGANGA graphics cards. LAN cards) under MS-DOS.
In a standard Amiga with !MB of total memory (as e.g. an Amiga 2000 in the
conflauratlon upon delivery) Golden Gate provides full 640KB of base
memory. If more memory should be required. you can either use more Amiga
RAM (on the motherboard or in a Zorro slot) or upgrade the PC/AT memory
expansion on the Golden Gate board or do both. Because of the flexible
design of the Golden Gate emulator. up to 4MB of the Golden Gate onboard
RAM can be used as an autoconfiguring Amiga RAM expansion.
