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.
I swear I remember Lotus 1-2-3 running on the original A1000 at its
swanky launch demo in 1985 -- was that software, or a bridgecard?
