Picasso II vs. 2386SX Bridgeboard

[curtis]

Okay, I'm going to duck after I post this!

Going through my stuff, I discovered I have a Picasso II board left over from when I owned an A3000.

Decided to drop it into my 2000 and see how it looks.

Anyway, after installing the software, suddenly the bridgeboard doesn't work!  It would appear they both want to write to the same memory area!

I'm thinking the 2 really don't want to co-exist in the same computer.

So, my questions are:

1.  Which to keep?
2.  Why?

And now I will duck from the people who will probably have some strong things to say about my "OBVIOUSLY VERY STUPID QUESTIONS."

So, I can run both, but need to cut my RAM back to 4MB?

Hmmm, I  already installed a switch to flip between 8MB and 6MB for when I want to run the Bridgeboard or not.  Would have to switch between 6MB and 4MB to keep both.

Also, could PC-Task take the place of the Bridgeboard?  Would a 68000 suffice for PC-Task?

Well, after fussing with the Picasso and all my displays, I've actually decided I really don't care to keep the 2000 at all.  

I don't use it enough to justify "hoarding" it/keeping it "just in case."

My 500's do everything I normally do with an Amiga.

So, I will be parting it out.

Spirantho has first dibs on the bridgeboard.

Anyone want to make me an offer on the Picasso?  It comes with the jumper cable and the DB23 to DB15 adapter.

Ditto the 2000 with the GVP HC8+(8MB RAM switchable to 6MB), SCM PCD-50B, kickstart ROM switch with 1.3 and 3.1 (manually switched - switch located in front under drives), and Indivision de-interlacer/vga adapter, keyboard, mouse (USB with adapter from retrocable).

My location is Amarillo, TX USA, so take that into consideration with your offers.

I'll give it a couple of days then will start the process of listing it on fleabay.  Need to take pics, etc.
