Chris,
I don't have a bridge card, so any advice I give you will only be based on
what I've heard from others, and what little I do know, with maybe a guess or
two thrown in.
There is a persistent rumor that there will be an 80286 bridge released early
in the new year, but I don't know how accurate that will turn out to be.
The access is said to be a little slow when using an Amiga partition on an
IBM-side HD, so if your main applications are on the Amiga side, it will
probably be better to go for an Amiga-side controller/drive and partition a bit
of it for the IBM side.
Don't know about the serial port access, but you can download to the IBM-side
and copy to the Amiga-side.
Perhaps someone else will jump in with more firsthand info.
Regards, Larry.
