Well, I have the same problem using the A2088 XT bridgeboard in my Ami 2000HD (using the CBM-A2090A, Seagate ST251-1 combo). If I boot my Ami from the HD, reassigning SYS: to a floppy (f.e. df0:) containing the PC-Drawer of my HD, also reassign some other Drawers ( if I remember correctly I have to assign LIBS: also), it works great, so I guess it has something to do with the DMA of the A2090A,am I right ? At the moment, I have a floppy for this purpouse and a script-file doing all the assigns etc. but this is a very inconveniant work-around :-( Oops, I have forgotten to mention that this problem only occurs at the first time trying to access the PC-Color; if I have managed to start the PC-Color-Window (see above), I can re-assign the SYS: (and LIBS:) to dh0:(libs). Closing and Re-Opening the PC-Color-Window works fine| Any suggestions ? >PLEASE respond to my by mail.
