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
