- This is not being designed. It is not being worked on. It is an IDEA!
- Please do not call me 10 times a day asking when it will be ready, or
- start telling people that it is coming out.
- I am asking this to get some idea of marketability.
-
- I was thinking about getting back in the bridgeboard business.
-
- If we could produce the following would you being interested?
- What else would you want? Are the prices within reason?
-
- Pentium bridgeboard -
-
- 75 - 166MHz Pentium CPU
- Cache memory
- 72 Pin simms
-
- UVGA on board (that shares system ram, or has 2mb of it's own.)
-
- 2 16550 serial
- 1 EPP ECC parallel All on board
- Floppy controller
- EIDE controller
-
- Features:
- Works in the 2/3/4000, and 3/4000T.
- Share Amiga mouse, keyboard, floppy.
- Built in video switch for single monitor use.
- Switch over to the IBM side and back with a hot key and icon/screen.
-
- A high retail price of $995 bare. (Meaning it will hopefully be a little
- lower from your dealer) And say $1495 with 16mb and a 90MHz Pentium.
-
- How important would direct file transfer be to you?
- How about being able to share the Amiga harddrive? The IBM harddrive?
