Ken, Unknown on the release date for the 286 BridgeBoard…but you're probably right…the day you buy an 8088 bridge the 286 version will come out. I haven't tried Turbo Pascal on the Bridge, but there's no reason it shouldn't work. The Bridge is an 8088 driven IBM PC/XT clone run under the Phoenix BIOS ROM. That ROM is about as compatible as you can get. I personaly would not worry about it working, but then I'm not buying it either. I suppose if you had to be 100% positive…if you know someone who has Turbo Pascal, have them bring their copy to an Amiga dealer's with you and test it. I can't compare the MetaComco Pascal with Turbo Pascal…I don't use either. Don
