Did you hear whether it is compatible with the Amiga 3000? and does
it support anything better than CGA graphics? It would be nice to have
built in VGA, even if they would have to have a separate monitor port for
it on the board. This is especially needed for use in the 3000, where you
only have 2 IBM compatible slots and the bridgeboard takes up one of them.
If you use the other one for a VGA board then you have no more open IBM
slots for any other uses.
