Anyone here any rumors about a Bridgeboard 386? I've got a 286 bridgboar and have become adicted to only having one box on my desk. I do get awfully frustrated with how slow it can be though. (At work I use 386 at 25mhz, so 8mhz really can be slow.) P.S. in line one make that here a hear (thank G– for spelling checkers!)

Joel, Yes…there are rumors…but nothing official from Commodore about a 386 BridgeBoard. Don

Some of your speed problem may be the screen update. The Amiga has to do a lot of work to get the video up on the screen. If you have a fast (68030) Amiga this should not be a problem. If you have an A2000, you should have enough expansion to add a VGA card. Then swap out your monitor for a multisynch and put in a video switch. The screen display should be much faster when going directly to its own graphics device, and you can switch back to the Amiga display with the touch of a button. Chris -)—–
