[comp.sys.amiga] Bridgeboards and Printers

paulb@cbnewsk.att.com (paul.l.bidwell) (11/20/90)

I'm about ready to buy an Amiga. Most of you on this newsgroup have convinced
me that the Amiga is the best thing since sliced bread!

I have several questions:

1. I would like to have PC compability, and I would like to get an A3000 if
   possible. Does the 3000 support Bridgeboards?

2. What is a good configuration for Bridgeboards? I don't intend to use it
   heavily, but I will probably use some accounting software on the PC side.

3. If the 3000 does not work, and I end up with a 2000 or 2500, does it make
   sense to get a 1950 monitor instead of the 1084?

4. What are good printers? I don't need a laser printer, but I may want to
   do some casual desktop publishing at some point. I've heard of something
   called an Inkjet. What is that?

If anyone is interested in selling any of the above equipment, I would be
interested in pursuing this.

Re: Inkjet printer

To answer your question #4, The Hewlett-Packard Deskjet, Plus, or 500
is an ideal printer for general use/DTP applications. I use mine with
Pagestream (and sometimes Professional Page) and get near-laser quality
from it. It's also a LOT cheaper to buy & run than a laser.
