KCS and the Sunshine Band


Hi

Its sunny and bright and I was furthering my research on the KCS PowerPC 
Board and I was struck by KC and The Sunshine Bands ...  Get Down Tonight

[ Do a little dance .. Make a little noise.. Get down tonight ]

Which actually features in the Big Bang Theory when Amy takes Leonard to 
a wedding and tries to get him to dance.

Anyway I was digging out all I had on this board and uncovered no less 
than four of them all still in their original plastic seals and brand 
new by the look of it. There is such a lot of documentation with the 
board together with this MSDOS big box of 4.1 with the KCS sticker on 
the outside. Many of the disks are labelled pre release so not sure if 
the owner wasn't testing the board. The Checkmate has a error drive on 
the Workbench for the KCS drive which suggests it was once on the 
machine. I checked with the disk but it found no hardware on the Amiga.

I may check out one of the cards which are all V4.5 for the Amiga 500-Plus.

From the Big Book

A PC Emulator for the Amiga 500+ which plugs into the trapdoor slot. In 
addition to the 1MB of memory installed the card, PC programs can also 
make use of any additional memory assigned to it from the Amiga's own 
memory. When the emulated PC is not in use, the on board 1MB of RAM can 
be assigned for use by the Amiga. The card also has support for using 
hard disks, floppy drives, the serial port and joystick/mouse ports in 
PC mode.
