I'm sorry you don't have a good dealer. It can make ALL the difference.
I've had from one to three of them, all good, in my area from the very
beginning. I'm still making almost all of my purchases from the dealer
who sold me my first Amiga in 1985. Her store just keeps getting better
and better.
Is the bridgeboard beyond repair? I have both and AT and an XT, and both
work well. (Well, I cannot seem to make AREAD and AWRITE perform since I
installed 2.04, but that's not the fault of the bridgeboard, really.)
do you have a good user group in your area?
