I am writing as a POSSIBLE future Commodore Amiga purchaser. I have heard a little about the 2500 and 3000 and was wondering if someone could answer some questions I have on them. I was told they have some sort of "bridge-card" built in that would allow me to use my extensive MSDOS files. 1) What is the clock speed of the Intel CPU and what is it? 2) How much memory can the Intel CPU be given to use? 1 Meg? 16 Megs? 3) How compatible is it with MSDOS programs – protected or not 4) What type of video do you get in MSDOS mode? CGA, EGA, VGA? 5) How many monitors are needed? Does one serve both Amiga and Bridge-card? 6) How many IBM compatible slots and what sizes (8 or 16 bit) 7) What sort of keyboard does it use? How does layout vary from IBM 101? 8) Will Amiga mouse work for MSDOS or do you need two rodents on the desk? 9) Can you reset the Intel CPU without rebooting the Amiga half? 10) What advantages do the 2500-3000 have over just simply using a 500 with my current 20 Mhz 80386 machine with VGA graphics? Tradeoffs? 11) And how much and what type of RAMS does the units use? SIMMS, SIPS DIPS? I know I'm asking alot in one message – feel free to answer any you know… I have absolutely no literature on Amiga stuff and am completely in the dark. I was told by a friend that the 2500 and 3000 had these bridge cards. Other than that…. Thanx in advance – Jim Veneskey
