$First off, can the current bridge card address the full 640K of RAM?

Yes.

$Does the board have a socket for an 8087?  What clock speeds do they
$run?

Yes, and not sure.

$When will the new 80286 bridge card be released?  Will it have a socket

Soon, yes, and not sure.

$Will the software support the Microsoft mouse?

Amiga mouse will emulate a Microsoft mouse.

$What graphics modes are supported by the card itself?

The card has only video RAM (for MDA or CGA), and no video circuitry.
The Amiga emulates MDA and CGA.

$Can it support VGA with an add on card?

Yes.

$Most importantly, will the price of the AT bridge card be substantially less
$than an AT clone?

Depends on the clone - probably.
