With the educational systems bundling Bridgecards (AT for 2000HD
and 2500/30), it seems that there will be many new uses for these
boards that don't necessarily use their "PC'ness".  

Multiprocessing is one example, but a more immediate need that it 
could fulfill would be to use it as an I/O processor, along with 
one or two of the ridiculously cheap (~$50 for 2 serial, 1 parallel, 
1 game port.) multi-port cards for the PC bus.

My question:  would it be fairly simple to write an pcbus.serial.device
that would send serial port activity to the PC side to be processed?
This would allow 4 serial ports to be connected at low cost, with
the added benefit of not tying the 68000 bus up all the time.

Along a similar vein, what are the multiprocessing support utilities
Commodore mentions that come with the Bridgecards?  Are they easy
to use, fast, flexible, etc.?  (or---vaporware?)
