How does it work? You just click on a PC icon in Workbench to active it? If you have a seperate hard drive attached will it be visible and accessible in Workbench?



it works like pctask emulator or pcx emulator...icon on workbench...configure it....the diffrence it needs the bridgeboard
they are nice because you can add a soundblaster or a modem or a gfx card on the A4000' isa slots
you can expect pay about 150u$  or 200 u$ for a 486 amiga-bridgeboard....not really viable on this days lol
with 10u$ or 20u$ you can get a a full pentium 1 computer with cabinet+extra cards +hardisk and cdrom

it seems the vortex goldengate is the fastest bridgerboard..it cames with a 486/25mhz

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/goldengate

it is a very complete bridgeboard.... however the 486 soldered is the SL version done for the notebooks ...and of course is not socketed ...but maybe using certain soldering  techniques and knowledge..maybe  can be upgraded to a 586 or 686 or a pentium
I wonder how money are these cards on the market when one appears
