Hi Ethan,

        That's pretty cool...I don't remember seeing anything on those before.
How much do they generally go for? I was referring to some of the
shareware stuff on Aminet that had a driver actually running on the
Bridgeboard CPU, passing stuff from it to the Amiga side. The extra layer
seemed to slow it down a little but it was a viable alternative for those
that had the Bridgeboards and a cheap ISA NIC card. I've got a 2286
bridgeboard myself but never tried it, as I already had full slots with my
GVP Spectrum, DKB SCSI board and Emplant Deluxe. I always like my various
Amiga's....it's too bad that even the A4000 would no longer meet my needs
for an 'everyday' machine.

        Jeff
