I'd like to find out the answers to a few questions about the A2386 Bridgeboard. 1) What hardware/software is recommended (or required) to run Windows 3.1? Can you give me some idea of the prices for the add-ons? If VGA doesn't run on an interlaced display, does it work on a flicker-fixed display? (I'm not clear on how the display works with the Amiga's.) 2) I assume a 5.25" floppy comes standard with the 2386. What's the cheapest and easiest way to add an HD (1.44M) floppy disk? Can the 5.25" disk be disconnected if it isn't needed? 3) Can MSDOS-6 (the version just out) run with the Bridgeboard? 4) Can other peripherals (Printer, Modem) be shared between the Amiga and IBM-clone sides? 5) Is Janus 2.1 the latest version of software? 6) Do I get a prize if I'm the one-millionth person with the same questions about the Bridgeboard? 🙂 Seriously, please point me to a file to DL if it already answers some of these questions, or perhaps a file should be uploaded if I'm only the 100th person to ask. Thanks for any help you can provide. Apologies if there's already a thread here with the same info. *** jd
