The 2088 and 2286 still output CGA screens.  If you want VGA output for the
bridgeboard, you need a VGA card on the AT/XT Bus.  The 2286 would seem to
be an unwise board to use in the 3000.  In the second-from-the-bottom
slot, the daughter board of the 2286 would block the second PC/AT slot.
In the top PC/AT slot, the bridgeboard would block the video slot.
You don't want to block the video slot obviously.  And with the
2088T XT Turbo card being advertised along-side the 3000 articles
(such as Amiga World), it would seem Commodore is hinting that
IBM compatibility is via the 2088T.  Of course, this is all my
personal opinion without any solid backing from Commodore.
