4567.0. "AT bridgeboard questions" by ISE003::MARI (Lee Mari) Thu Mar 07 1991 08:25

For those of you that have an AT bridgeboard...

1) Can the AT bridgeboard see the serial port on the AMIGA side for shared 
modem use?  Or does it need a separate serial card on the PC side to attach 
a modem?

2) Is a special and/or additional  monitor needed to use a EGA card?  
How about a VGA card?

		Thanks,

	I do not believe that you can access the Amiga serial port from a bridge. At least I was never able to do it. Purchasing a multi-function I/O card is a cheap and effective way to use your external modem. You have to have a VGA monitor to use a VGA card. You can emulate CGA using the Amiga monitor (1084 or generic 1084). Topgun
