On the subject of Bridgeboards, is anybody from Commodore willing to
state whether some new bridgeboards are actually in the works?  I have
an A3000 and would really like a good bridgeboard.  One thing I find
annoying about the existing bridgeboard packages is that they come with
a 5.25 inch drive.  Since the A3000 has no place to put this drive,
I'd rather not have to pay for one.  I think the 5.25'' drive should be
offered separately.  If this were done then the price of the bridgeboard
could be dropped (maybe $100 or more).  This would then bring the mail
order price of the XT Bridgeboard to about $350, which is getting to be
quite affordable.  If someone really wants a 5.25 inch drive they could
simply buy it separately.  Just seems to me like this would be a more
sensible marketing solution.
