   I'm considering acquiring a 3000/16 (it seems to be a logical upgrade for
me), but I'm also going to need to use an Ethernet that will work in either a
Mac or IBM emulation mode.  The easiest way to go SEEMED to be with the XT
bridgeboard, which only takes up one slot (leaving one IBM slot open for the
ethernet board).  But I am not fully "up" on the limitations of bridgeboard. 
For this I have some questions:

                   -Amiga drives do not work as 720K drives in IBM mode, right?
So could I use an internal 3.5" IBM drive and chuck it into the other internal
drive slot?  (Will the 3.5" drive work with an XT Bridgeboard?)

                   -Would it be possible to use an Amiga ethernet in AMAX and
just use Mac software to drive the ethernet board?

                   -Are there any other emulators available (other than 
bridgeboards) that allow use of the IBM slots in IBM emulation?

                   -Would the file converter that comes with bridgeboards 
allow one to convert files between partitions? (Amiga <-> MS-DOS)
