Is there a way to reset the bridgeboard without rebooting the Amiga? Apparently the Amiga pulls down the 8088 reset line when it is rebooted - is it possible to write a routine to do this without resetting anything else? On a related subject, where is a good reference for the Bridgeboard? The little pamphlet that comes with it is no good. Dare I ask if one might get a - a *SCHEMATIC*? Anybody from CATS??

The V2.0 Janus software has a utility called PCHard which will reset the PC "most of the time". >On a related subject, where is a good reference for the Bridgeboard? The >little pamphlet that comes with it is no good. Dare I ask if one might >get a - a *SCHEMATIC*? Anybody from CATS?? The only existing document is the A500/A2000 Tech Ref manual. This manual has a small section describing the way things used to work. only order it (available through CATS) if you need IO addresses or Hardware info. The software has all changed for V2.0. Once I get the new users manual done my task will be a Bridgeboard Tech Ref manual hopefully with schematics. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Bill Koester (CATS) >>Commodore Amiga Technical Support<< Commodore International Ltd.
