WTB: Bridgeboard

[giZmo350]

Busted out my microscope to look at that pic close up. Oh YUP! Now I see it! Damn! A total loss!!!!! :eek:

[LoadWB]

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it a total loss, but it's going to be a bit of a gamble considering it hasn't been tested but used to work some undetermined number of years ago in an Amiga 3000.

Well played!

I feel a bit 'played', but you guys definitely made me reconsider that board.
Then again, it would have been yet another legacy purchase of marginal utility.

Also look at the backside of the board, there are some dark spots several places around the area of the battery. If this is a multilayer printboard and the battery fluid have penetrated through the board there are likely some damage in the middle layers as well.

A little off the current thread, but has anyone ever gotten an IBM 486 SLC2 or 486 SLC3 upgrade board to work with an Amiga '286 bridgeboard?

Yeah, I'm really disappointed.

Ya'll have gone bat$h!t mad!!!! :roflmao:

Amazing. You spotted the paradigm and vision subconsciously - it IS the Star Trek vision of the future that I was talking about. And you posted a relevant meme, albeit one that was rather mocking.

I mean, who believed in pocket communicators, talking computers like the Amiga, quantum communicators, or handheld medical scanners back in the 1960s? They all exist now in some form or other, today.

What some perceive as "solid matter" really is just highly condensed, reasonating "energy". If you choose to study polydimensional mathematics, it gets even more complex, so I'll just leave it there.

Being able to go from one to the other... just with solid objects... hmmm... useful technology.

Sci-fi enthusiasts?

Whatever.  Prove to me any of this is real and not just a figment of my imagination.  For that matter, prove to me that we're not all just a perception of a holographic projection of the universe.

While you're at it, bring me no tea, please.

While you're at it, bring me no tea, please.

To go along with the tea you have?

Certainly. Would you prefer any of milk, sugar or a cup with your no tea order?
 
 I suggest you check out the existential price list before you order in future, it's available on request, so I haven't sent you a copy to prevent any further confusion.
