This is for anyone who's used the Bridge-board that lets Amy run
PC-compatible software. I tried to suggest it as a much more
desirable alternative to a '386-based PC with a VGA card running OS/2,
because the Amy already has blow-em-away graphics, and multi-tasks more
efficiently than OS/2 ever will, and it will run all their favourite
Messy-DOS software into the bargain.
The response I got was that the Bridge-board was far too slow (only
8 MHz) to be a reasonable alternative, and for $1200, plus the cost
of the Amiga, it just wasn't worth it. Is this true? Are they perhaps
just talking about the 8088 Bridge-board, and there are '286 and maybe
even '386 boards out there which will do better?
I'd like a Reality Check from people out there who've used the Bridge-
board, before I accept this suspicious claim.
Thanks,
Craig.
