[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] fastmem expasion and janus hd problem.

mpalange@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Mark Palange) (04/10/91)

To all those who might help:

1: My set up -> A2000, 2 internal drives, A2088 XT Bridgeboard, ST-125 Seagate
		IBM (Janus) Harddrive, RC-2000 2meg expasion ra(golden image).

2: My problem -> For a few years I've been using my set up with eveything
		 but the expansion mem with no problems.  When I add the
		 memory card, My system will crash on the Binddrivers 
		 commmand if binddrivers finds the janus software in the
		 sys:expansion directory.  Without the janus software
		 the memory seems to work flawlessly.  However, that 
		 disables my harddrive, which I need.

		 If there is an update to the Janus stuff that works,
		 how do I get it, and how do I tell the version of 
		 what I already have? Or, is there anyway that I can
		 bypass the janus stuff alltogether so I can use the 
		 bridgeboard and the memory?

Any help would be MORE than greatly appriciated.  I love my amiga and
just want it to work, is that so wrong?   =--> MEP.

You see, I have a 2500/20 with an A2286 AT board, a PC-side hardcard,
an A2090A hd controller and an A2052 RAM card, all working nicely
together. So I guess it's not the Janus software in your case, but
perhaps that RAM board you have has difficulties with autoconfig?
(Only speculation)
