Hi.
As i am thinking of rebuilding my A1200 T Mediator later this year, and being now an absolute fan of PC bridgeboard in every big box amiga, a weird question comes to my mind.
In a PCI busboard, there is of course no ISA slot to use with a Commodore bridgeboard or GoldenGate. However, a PCI single board computer could be used, with a lot more CPU power than usual bridgeboard. But, as those cards have the ability to control other PCI cards by busmastering, what would happen with, for instance, a SoundBlaster PCI card if both the Amiga part and the SBC part take control of it at the same time?
This problem does not occur with ISA slots in big box amigas, since ISA slots have no way to be used directly by the Amiga.
Any idea?
