The video emulation supported CGA (non-interlaced), T3100 and Olivetti interlaced modes. The emulator had a physical 80286 CPU on the board that was clocked at 7.2MHz!

So, I had to dig a bit for you to know what sort of upgrade possibilities there was available for Amiga 500. I recently found info about it in a Norwegian magazine named dNh klubben.

In 1990, Vortex in Germany released a 286 Emulator for Amiga 500. This means that they are made for getting upgrades and tweaks to them like any PC or Mac.

The UI is much nicer and more intuitive than FS-UAE.
