much slower than a PC with the same processor.for modems it can only use an internal ISA modem or serial card.the card uses the Amiga's serial or parallel ports for printing.with an ISA VGA board a separate monitor is needed.the Amiga supports MDA (monochrome) and CGA modes through the native display (CGA 640x200x2 or 320x200x4 modes) - you can toggle between Amiga and PC screens.only two floppy drives are accessible by the BridgeBoard.PC floppy drives can be used in an internal bay, Amiga floppy drives can be used as PC only or shared, external Amiga drives can be connected directly to DB23 floppy connector of the BridgeBoard.

can use a PC hard disk (with additional ISA controller), virtual drives on Amiga partitions (hardfiles), you can even have an Amiga partition on the PC hard drive.128 kB dual-port RAM for data exchange between the BridgeBoard and the Amiga.upgrading the BIOS and fitting a ZIP to SIMM converter makes possible to use 16 MB RAM.supports 256k×4 or 1M×4 page mode ZIPs, 80-120 ns or faster.sixteen ZIP sockets accept up to 8 MB RAM.80386 SX 16 / 20 / 25 MHz (32 bit internally, 16 bit external bus).360 kB 5.25' floppy drive built in - up to four floppy drives are supported.optional 1 MB memory expansion for the Amiga side.printing works only for applications using interrupt handshaking - those writen with busy-wait loops will not work (eg.can use the Amiga parallel port - it has to be dedicated to either the Amiga or the PC side exclusively.colour: text can be rendered in up to 16 colours, and graphics can be up to 4 colours.monochrome: instead of green text on black screen, the Sidecar can display four colours in PC monochrome mode - the colour of text, intensified text and the background are independent of each other and freely adjustable.turning on power to the Sidecar unless the Amiga is powered up can seriously damage the Amiga - use the attached power-cord extender so the A1000 is powered through the Sidecar, though this means the A1060 has to be turned on all the time even if it is unused.requires the A1000 to be expanded to 512 kB (ie.covers the mouse and game ports, they are passed through to the front of the Sidecar.128 kB dual port RAM visible by both the Amiga and PC (8 kB for mono display, 32 kB for colour display, 16 kB used for maintenance of records, 64 kB for data exchange, 8 kB used for I/O registers).RAM can be expanded up to 640 kB using a RAM expansion card in an XT slot.supports 256k×1 150 ns or faster DIPs, in 128, 256, 512 kB configurations.sixteen DIP sockets for up to 512 kB RAM - 256 kB is preinstalled in eight of the sockets.
