I am looking at possibly getting a bridgeboard.  After hearing how
slow both the XT and AT BBs are, I am interested in information on
the accelerators for them that work.  The ones I have heard 
mentioned are the SOTA 286i and SOTA 386i.  Are these for the XT BB?
Or is the 386i for the AT model of the BB?  My knowledge about the 
bridgeboard(s) is limited.  I would like to at least have 286 
compatibility so I could help my brother with his business.

So, what do these accelerators cost?  What speed do they run at?
How "compatible" are they?  How do they work?
Any other questions I should be asking?

Are there any recommended by Commodore?

I have a 3 meg B2000 with a HardFrame/Q80 if that matters.
Used XT BBs have been selling really cheap so I am just exploring some
options.
