Randall,
The A2500 is an A2000 with an included 40 Meg HD and the A2620 co
processor card (68020) with 2 Meg of 32 bit RAM on the card (4 Meg max on the
card).
Yes, a BridgeBoard can be added to an A2000. Right now, there is only
the A2088 bridgeboard (8088 processor running at 4.77MHz). In the future there
will be a bridgeboard with an 80286 chip running at a higher speed.
Yes, right now, with the bridgeboard you can share a HD mounted on
either side with the other side.
The bridgeboard is fully compatible…that is, if it'll run on a clone,
it'll run on the bridgeboard.
The mouse useage isn't available yet, that will come with the upgrade
software to link the bridge and the Amiga sides.
The A2000 is your best bet…200w power supply vs 90w on the A1000 and
built in buffered slots.
Don
