I have a problem with my bridgeboard if I try to start up pc-color; I have tried many things to alleviate this but to no avail. Here's what happens : 1) I boot off my hard drive 2) start pc-mono from the workbench(color/mono jumper at mono) 3) type mode co80 at the A> prompt 4) close the pc-mono window and 5) click pc-color (twice) now the pointer turns "busy" acquires a red border and THAT'S IT! There is no guru or task held requester; however, the machine just seizes up. O.K. Now for the strange part: if I assign sys: to df0: anywhere between 1 and 5 (and put any disk in df0: ) I can boot in color with no seizing. I do have a fake hard drive for the IBM side and that works ok as far as I know. If I boot with the AmigaDOS disk supplied with the Bridgeboard and then assign sys: to dh0: (after mounting the dh0:) it sezies. I didn't see anything in the User's Guide about this but it doesn't have much technical info anyway. I am conserned that I have some old Janus software as when I bought it from my local dealer he blew dust off the box. I have pcwindow 2.0g1, msdos version 3.30, pcprefs ram=E000, Janus.library 33.1b5 -- 25 Oct 1988, A2088XT bridgeboard, 1.3 Roms, no extended chip set, no extra memory, Amiga 2000 Rev. 6.7 (I think) motherboard, and a IVS Trumpcard and a Seagate (ack) drive. Otherwise a stock system. ANY AND ALL HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. I will summerize to the net when I get responses. Thanks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ < John Richardson < "I set the wheels in motion < > jrichard@hawk.ulowell.edu > turn on light and sound > < University of Lowell < activate the programs < > (just a student) > and watch the world go round..." > < < --Neil Peart (RUSH) < ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Delete :PC/System/Sidecar.table. When you save PC settings, it makes this file which causes color PC window to get confused.
