I posted this several weeks ago, but no one has responded yet, so I'll
try one more time...
I am using a pseudo PC hard drive with an older 2088 bridgeboard. My
problem is that it takes forever to load programs from it! I guesstimate
that it is about 6-8 times slower than an XT. The SCSI amiga drive has
a FFS format on that partition, and I've had no trouble reading from it
(other than speedwise) so I did not add Mask = 0 to my mountlist. (Note
this is the autobooting pseudo hard drive made with MAKEAB, ~10MB). Does
anyone know why this may be happening? Is this normal?!

Dan,
I can't answer your question but I have a question for you...
I have the 2088 bridge and a 40 meg MFM /2090a controller on the amiga side..
Someone told me I could build a partition and boot from it (MSDOS) with no
problems.... Is that true? and ... if so what rev of Janus do I need...
Please forward me all the info needed... or call me on voice at 205-544-2966
Monday thru Friday...
Thanks....
