You have that many exclusive DOS games to make all that hassle and expense worthwhile? 486 & 586 Bridgeboards are extremely rare and not cheap! I just read in an Amiga mag that the 386 Bridgeboard was a major pain to install and configure and that the 286 board was much easier that way. Wonder if anything newer would be that much more difficult.

Those Infocom games... most all of 'em can be had natively in Amiga format. Just curious... what games do you have on DOS you can't get for the Amiga?

A Pentium would be a 686.

Ummm, no.  :)

Besides, penta = 5.

As for how rare true 486/586 bridgeboards are - they don't exist.


I'm fairly certain Allocvec here had a German made Pentium BB for the Amiga a little while back. I know because I was hoping to snag it up for reasonable so I could play the only Win95 I give a crap about: Jeff Wayne's version of The War of the Worlds - a fun RTS game, especially to big WotW fans. I guess there's a PSX version of it too, but I've never seen it.
