Deja News Inc. for keeping an archive of the newsgroups postings Also, many messages from the Amiga Usenet Newsgroups are included in this FAQ. Where possible, I have left the name of the authors with the messages. Please note that these messages may have been edited for content, formatting, spelling and/or consistency. Needed Contributions Here are some things I've been unable to obtain for this revision that I would like to add: - More scanned pictures of diagrams to replace the text diagrams (XT and 286 Bridgeboards) - Any reference information on tools for programming the Bridgeboard/Janus library. - Any results on tests for Year 2000 compliance for the XT and 286 Bridgeboard (I'm guessing they won't rollover properly either, but will they keep the proper century after a reboot?) - Any info/specs on the SideCar(???) - Any info on available processor upgrades for the XT/286 Bridgeboards - suggestion on (freeware?) hard drive installation programs (for >500MB drives) beside DiskManager - test results to see if FPU coprocessors run properly with upgrades other than the Cyrix upgrade - additional installation tips (For more details on most of these topics, see Common Problems and Questions)
