    Okay, if CBM sells so many bridgeboards ( 1 for every 2 A2000's, 
somebody said), can I hear from some of you users as to how well they
run?  Specifically, I have to do some development of some projects that
will eventually run on a Clone, and I would really rather not have
another computer siting on my desk.  Can you run pretty much all the
IBM/MicroSoft/etc. tools, and can you plug in 3rd party cards to the IBM
IBM slots (I need to use a telephone voice interface card) and have 
everything play together okay?  If I use PCDOS 3.2 or later, can I
access the 3.5" drive in MSDOS mode?

    I ask because I've worked on other 68000 machines with IBM emulation,
and they were close but...  Everything I ran had little idiosyncracies that
weren't quite right.  If I'm going to plunk down $600+ for the card, and
then add another $500-$700 for a hard disk drive, I want to make sure
it's going to work for what I need.

    Any replies by E-Mail would be appreciated.  If there's interest,
I'll summarize to the net.
