[comp.sys.amiga] AREAD to JLINK'd Directory

tmb@davinci.acc.Virginia.EDU (Thomas M. Breeden) (07/22/89)

Just starting to use my new bridgeboard I am impressed with the software
that ties the two systems together.

except,

Have I missed something or is it true that AREAD/AWRITE do not work correctly
when the MS-DOS directory resides on the Amiga disk (ie, is a JLINK device)?.

I can AREAD/AWRITE fine to the MSDOS floppy or the MSDOS ramdisk, G:, but
get a write error message when using a JLINK'd MSDOS device.
The AREAD output file is created at 0 bytes, but thereafter that MSDOS
device cannot be accessed until rebooting.

Is this a known bug?

	Good!

There were problems sometimes with the 1.0 software.  Ask your dealer to
upgrade your software to 2.0.
