Hi, folks! The Question Man here with some Bridgeboard questions. I have an
Amiga 3000 running OS 2.05 with 6 Megs ram (2 chip, 4 fast), but I need to have
a PC-compatible to run Turbo Pascal for a class, so I have just bought a used
2088 Bridgeboard (the one with the 5.25" disk drive). Here are my questions: 1.
Once I set up, partition, format and 'install' the virtual C: drive, can I use
the bridgeboard _without_ the 5.25" drive connected? 2A. Is there a way to
_replace_ the 5.25" drive with a 3.5" drive (that is, hook a 3.5" drive to the
5.25" drive's connector to use as the A: drive? 2B. If so, what kind of drive
must I get, and how much is it likely to cost? [In case you can't tell, cost
is a _major_ consideration, since the 3000 dented our computer budget big
time!]
Thanks in advance, everyone! *B^)
