Summary: Don't forget the special slots ...


Don't forget the CPU and video slots, or the detached keyboard, or the bays
for disk drives. Still, is that $1000 worth?

I would like to see some sort of PC Bus Adaptor card to make PC Bus peripherals
accessible without the Bridge card. This is definitely special-purpose. Hmm, 
maybe PC Bus memory cards could be usable 'cache disks' And networking cards
are abundant on the PC Bus.
 
 Also, while the 8088 bridge card is not visibly great, a  '286, or more
specifically, a '386 card would give you a usable Unix development machine
at a cheap price. So there's definitely some use for it ( :-) for CBM )
