John,
There are adverts for the 386/486 Bridgeboards liberally sprinkled
throughout the Amiga range of magazines but no one can actually supply
them if pressed. A recent note I saw on CIX suggested both boards had
been withdrawn due to internal read/write errors being unacceptable and
there was little prospect of them appearing in the near future – whatever
that is. I would suggest that even if you find a supplier be careful as
he may be offloading old stock which will of course have the above
problem. If you do find any further info on this please let me know as I
am after a 486 emulation which isn't overpriced with loads of unwanted
specs (i.e Golden Gate from VORTEX).
Regards Mark

I have had an 486 Bridgeboard for about 4 months and havent had any read
write errors.The only problem I had was getting the shared drive to work
so I gave up and got a external drive. It is a cut down version of the 486
(486SLC) which is not a true 32bit processor.
