Just out of curiosity, has anyone out there been able to install an accelerator on a bridgeboard? If so, what was the product used? With the prices of 386-based systems coming down, it seems to me the bridgeboards are looking quite a bit overpriced (ie. $1000+ for an 8Mhz 80286 with CGA...). Since I've heard they are very compatible perhaps it's possible to accelerate them using some of the accelaerators available for true compatibles (eg. Intel AboveBoards and others)... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paolo V.

If so, what was the product used? With the I don't have any experience with bridgeboards but continue considering the purchase of one. I do remember though reading after the orginal 8088 or 86 board came out (A2088 ?) that some PC hardware company stuck a 386 accelerator into an A2000 with the A2088 and had no problems at all. While I'm here talking about bridgeboards, I'm curious to find out how happy people are with theirs. It does seem that the price is more than alittle high compared to what you can get these days for a full system. ---Mike, -- -------- o A herd of bagels | Michael Figg DSAC-FSD | | -- oo o o escaping from a deli. | DLA Systems Automation Center | | -- ooo oo Looking for Lox in | Cols, Ohio mfigg@dsac.dla.mil -------- o o all the wrong places | CIS: 73777,360
