For the advantage of VGA (hardware) graphics and speed i prefer the real thing.I agree that a Sun or Mac cannot handle with PC cards - they are more professional ! (hit me, if i`m wrong) I think there is many interesting food also for the Amiga slots avaiable now, perhaps C= ignore these developments a bit ? So the bridgeboard is not a requirement to start `the big game` on Amiga. I like it as it is. -- __ _ ala Andrew Kopp - The Software Brewery - // |_ | | |_> UUCP : charly@brewak.ruhr.sub.org // __| |/\| |_> \\ // ------------ CBMnet: ...{cbmehq|cbmger}!brewas!brewak!charly \X/
