Oh well, I'm gonna save for an XSurf, this piece of HW seems to rule really, w/ the added clockport.
Thank you for this explanation. Indeed, I saw a Goldengate image, man the board is crowded !? Just hoping that someday, somehow..
I have two Goldengate bridgeboards and one Commodore 386 that I am not using at the moment and have been thinking of putting on eBay. I also have an ISA card to use with them that has onboard IDE controller/VGA/8mb RAM (maybe more). I had it set up with a SoundBlaster16 which also had a SCSI controller on it at one time ages ago, but since the bridgeboards are 386 and sx486 they are not good for much as they barely run Windows 3.1. What a nightmare that was. MS-DOS v6.22 was tolerable for what it did, but that whole Windows 3.0 & 3.1 mess gave me a healthy respect for my Amiga and a loathing for Microsoft. XP Pro is finally a usable (but still flawed) product and it only took MS 20+ years to make. :lol:
Off topic: While deciding what kind of laptop to get my 77 year old Mom for Christmas, my 4 brothers and sisters and I decided not to go for a cheap $300 to $600 PC laptop and ordered her a 14 inch iBook. She has never owned a computer before, so we figured a little extra expense on our part would result in a lot less of my Mom fighting with the OS to get what she wants to do with a computer, email, Internet & family pictures.
