"…curiousity and doubt that the Bridgeboard can be sped up THAT much…"
Actually, they don't speed the board up, they do what CBM should have done
a long time ago: they replace the 8286 chip (or whatever the A2286 uses)
with a 386SX chip and run it at 20 Mhz. So don't feel bad… the
modification can only be done on an AT bridgeboard, not an XT.
(BTW: Creative Computers quoted me $449, or something like that, yesterday
for a new A2286 Bridegboard.)
If I don't get out there next week as I'm planning, I'll let you know.
Good luck with the Shoot & edit… what's this one? Have you considered a
film about CBM, USA? …maybe something along the line of "MARKETING DROIDS
FROM HELL"?
