The Bridgeboard is more useful if you want to run PC software  :)

The two co-exist happily, just make sure there's 4MB memory space available, 2MB each.

PC-Task 3.1 will run on a 68000 - at about the speed of a 0.5 MHz 486. If you want to run anything serious, a 386SX bridgeboard at 25MHz is a no-brainer. PC-Task on a 68000 is orders of magnitude slower.

By the way - if you plump for the Picasso in the end, I'm looking to buy an A2386SX. I have a batch of brand new Cx486SLC2/50 (50MHz 486 chips that work on a 386SX board via clock-doubling) and I want to check them out....
