I used a '386DX board, called the pc-elevATor, on the A2088 bridgecard for awhile on loaner, and it worked like a champ. The installation software even had an Amiga bridgecard option. >Well, technically, yes. Although, I have an SX card in my AT slot, so it >would do my no good.

I was simply stating what would work good. And pointing out that the Amiga bus isn't as tied to bridgecard vs. standalone PC performance as one might expect. I don't personally have anything to do with BridgeCard development at Commodore. And what I do know about the works in progress (which I wouldn't tell here anyway) is sketchy at best, since that work is done at our facility in Braunschewig, Germany. >> Alykhan. >* -Joseph Hillenburg (Sultan of Asm) * "Those are't bugs!" * -- Dave Haynie Commodore-Amiga (Amiga 3000) "The Crew That Never Rests" {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!daveh PLINK: hazy BIX: hazy Get that coffee outta my face, put a Margarita in its place!
