Three of four days ago, I posted a request for help with Amouse. I said I had problem with it, it never ran and crashed my PC ans sometimes my Amiga. Some weird squares were showing on the PC screen. I found out, from replies (specificaly the one from Joer Hoehle <hoehle@hpki.cs.uni-sb.de> that my problem was my HD controller. Joer told me he had a Cltd Krono controller and had problem with Amouse only when the Krono controller is installed. Does anybody here knows why Amouse does not run well with Cltd Krono controller or any other krono controller? Did anybody else experienced this problem? Here is the last post (and mail) regarding that subject: >>>I need help from anyone who has a bridgeboard and is using his Amiga Mouse >>>with it. >>> >>>Since I purchased Bridgeboard enhencer software, I tried to install Amouse >>>to use my mouse, but my machine would 1) crash or >>> 2) display weirds sqaures on PC screen >>> and eventually crash. >> >>I have a PAL B2000, an A2088, and a Kronos Cltd Controller with a Quantum >>drive. Here is what I've experienced: >>When the Harddrive is turned off (remove the controller from the slots), the >>mouse works just fine (of course I had to make a bootable floppy that hold >>all needed programs on the Amiga side). >>When the controller is plugged in, the PC crashes (weirds squares) as soon as >>I start PCMouse on the Amiga side. > >THAT'S IT!!!!!

Do you still want me to forward you the reponses? -- Sylvain __ +-----------------------------------------------------------------///------+ | Sylvain Tremblay INTERNET: Sylvain@speedy.CAM.ORG __ /// /| | | Montreal, Qc, Canada CIS: 71640,666 \\\/// # | | | (514) 256-3779 or: 71640.666@compuserve.com \XX/ _|_ | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
