Only power is connected to the ISA slots, so without a BridgeBoard you can only use Time Base Correctors and similar video equipments.
Two kinds of BridgeBoards exist:
- PC emulators (Commodore 8088/ 2286/ 2386 and Vortex GoldenGate 386/486 series) which allow the use of ISA cards on the PC side.
- BridgeBoards without PC emulation (GoldenGate 2+ and CrossLink) which allow the use of some ISA cards on the Amiga side. These have driver for serial/parallel/Ethernet cards, but do not support ISA cards with DMA.
Here's the list and description of all BridgeBoards and all ISA cards which do not need a BridgeBoard but have Amiga software for it (eg. TBCs):
