A new A2500/30 + '286 BridgeBoard user in our group has gotten around to doing some hacking. He would like to know if he can get any documentation on the Janus.library. He wants to write some software thaty uses both the Amiga and IBM sides of the machine, but doesn;t know how to do it since there are no docs. He owns the RKMs, but of course, there's no Janus stuff in them. All help will be greatly appreciated. -- Rich Carreiro The "War on Drugs" ARPA: rlcarr@athena.mit.edu is merely a smokescreen for UUCP: ...!mit-eddie!mit-athena!rlcarr The War on the Constitution BITNET: rlcarr@athena.mit.edu JITTLOV FOREVER!

The dealer wasn't able to get it from CBM for me. If you are only registered developer you wouldn't get it from CBM even if you payed for it. You will have to pay DM 120-130 to Schaltungsdienst Lange. If you want anything useful, you will ahve to go certified (and pay for it). The problem for me: I needed a comercial product in development. All I want is all sort of documentation; nothing else. 1/2 Grrr.

Is this the Bridgeboard Technical Reference Manual that many people have mentioned (but which Commodore Australia denies the existence of)? -- Andrew Phillips (andrew@teslab.lab.oz.au) Phone +61 (Aust) 2 (Sydney) 289 8712

No, I don't know about a "Bridgeboard Tech Ref Manual". Perhaps this is confused with the Bridgeboard Service Manual for repair issues that is sometines also called Tech Ref Man.? Definitely I was talking about the "Amiga Tech Ref Man" that contains explanations of expansion bus, autoconfig sw & hw, Amiga schematics AND explanation of bridgeboards and their janus software. (Though availability might be a problem in some countries.) In USA this is sold by CATS to developers. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to Commodore Frankfurt, Germany \X/ rutgers!cbmvax!cbmger!peterk
