Very nice. I have a couple of 8-bit and 16-bit Bridgecards, but never
ran across a Sidecar (and couldn't afford one when they were new, but
didn't really need one then, anyway).
I heard that by the A2000-A2286 era, one of the reasons Commodore kept
making Bridgecards was for those customers whose employers had a
strict "must run MS-DOS" rule for IT Purchasing. I do remember seeing
forms in the mid-1980s with a checkbox that indicated if the machine
being ordered was "IBM Compatible" - with the implication that you had
better be prepared to explain yourself (or be rejected) if you didn't
check the box.
