286 bridgeboard

I'm in the process of getting ready to set up a 268
BridgeBoard myself. I'm going to pull the MoBo and
install the card slot extenders to make all the PC
slots 16 bit. I picked up a VGA & IDE HD/Floppy &
sound card. I have some hardware hacking to do before
I do the actual BB setup (will take me some time).
I sure would like it if you EMailed me with your
progress/problems. There isn't much I can help you
with yet.

Too bad that you can't use an ISA video card through the bridgeboard to RTG the OS graphics display.

I wondered that myself... it would be a cheap way for
A2000 users to get RTG.
If it could be done, there probably isn't anyone with
the skills interested in doing such a project.

I'd bet Jens Schoenfeld could do it. He already made a viable Z2/ISA bridge with the X-Surf. Maybe we should start an email

If you know him.... why not give him a try??

It seems logical that if C= could direct the GFX from
the BB side to the C= GFX chips for output then the GFX
from the A2000 side could be redirected to the BB GFX
card.
If someone was to write a driver, you would see the value
of these BB's go up fast :-)
