How about the long-sought dumb bridge board? Just enough hardware to let Amiga software address the PC bus. Then I could stick a couple of 2-port dumb cards with good uarts in for $60 (total) or an AST dumb card for $100 and get 4 ports. The dumb bridge card couldn't cost more than $100, and should be less than that. I could probably cannibalize the famous FAS driver for much of the hardware control. If the Bridge card is just for PR, as you imply, why doesn't my 3000 have Amiga slots inline with *all* the PC slots? -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' .
