I need some advice on the world of bridgeboards. I've had Amigas since 1985 and last year bit the bullet and bought a PC laptop. Now I would like to have all of that expensive PC ware on my desk machine, but I want to know what I'm in for. I have a 3000, with all slots available. Does the '286 bb come with any ports or will I need to buy them? If I can live with CGA, do I need anything besides a hard drive? Can the Amiga use the PC HD? CAn the PC use the Amiga HD? Which side should I get the HD for? The PC hard drives are cheaper, but maybe it's easier to use a bigger additional Amiga HD. And last but not least, any news of the '386 BB? Thanks, Neill

I only have a 2088 Bridgeboard which was fairly cheap. I have used a 2286 bv I don't feel it is good value – very expensiJ9the UK, in fact many 286 else can tell you more. Joe Joe WyloB-
