The 68020 cards work in a completely different manner than the
bridgecard.  The bridgecard has its own bus, and runs concurrently
with the 68000.  The 68020 runs on the 68000 bus, and as a rusult runs
INSTEAD of the 68000.  As a result, you could never run the 68000 and
the '20 at the same time.  About the only way that you could get
around this is to install another bus to be used by the '20.
