Can anyone tell me the status of the 80286 Bridge card or the 68020 for the 2000. I am interested in finding out about the release dates. In addition does anyone know if the new bridge card will be bundled with a 5 1/4 inch drive. If it is I may not buy it as I am using this space for a hard drive, plus at work now all we use is 3 1/2 inch disks. Again any information is appreciated. Rocco

Rocco, Last I heard, CBM was still working on the 286 BridgeCard and was awaiting some final testing and certification on the 68020 board. No release dates for either product have been given. I have no idea on whether a 5.25" drive will/won't come with any new version of the Bridge, but suspect it will. If you don't need one, don't use it. I'm sure you could sell it for about $50 or so, which is all you're paying for it in the first place (if that much). Don
