Many people have been asking if ANYONE had gotten their PC-DITTO II to work correctly... A friend of mine received and played with his pc-ditto II for a week with no luck... Installed, the board caused his MEGA2 to bomb!! When he was finally able to get through to AG, they told him that his BLITTER was conflicting with the board, and that if he saved the desktop with BLITTER disabled, that would take care of it... Besides some physical difficulties (like getting the board inside his MEGA2 which already had a hard drive inside it) that were kludgable... He has gottn it to work. The board is HUGE... about 5" by 7" !!! and he connects it every time he wants to use it, because he has gotten too used to the speed the BLITTER gives him. He has the PCD II board OUTSIDE his computer, and has ribbon cables running too it! But hey, it works fast, (MUCH FASTER THAN PC-DITTO I), and looks like a reasonable clone... We didn't run speed tests, so can't give ya any hard numbers... AAron nAAs
