Since others are replying to the Bridgecard portion, but missing the
point on your last question, I will attempt to confuse things further. 🙂
The Amiga 500 uses a straight 68000 CPU running at a little over 7mHz. The
2500 and 3000 use 68030's running at 25mHz with a 68882 math co-processor.
I find that this runs about 10 times faster than a standard Amiga 500. (I
have a 1000 and a 2500/30). So, there are definitely other benefits than
space alone to go with the 2500/30 or 3000. Also, the 3000 is memory
expandable to 16 megs of 32 bit fast RAM and 2 megs of chip RAM, without
getting an add-on board, just the chips.
