True, I don't imagine an Amiga could be booted from one, unless the bridge-
card had a rom that supported it somehow, but I don't think any of those 
cards did anything that exotic - they basically just literally bridged the 
ZII & ISA busses, possibly adding some electrical buffering.  

But then again, Chris never said in any of his posts that his Amiga ever 
had been booted from the hard drive, which is why I suggested the 
possibility.  I didn't want to make any assumptions.  Everyone had already 
assumed he had a 2090A, and it turned out he didn't. :-)

He also replied to me via e-mail - it turns out he does have an 8088 
bridgeboard in the machine, complete with the 5 1/4" drive and everything, 
no Amiga hard drive.
