[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] 2.0 and Bridgeboard

A request was made for 3000/Bridgeboard experiences. Mine is that 2.0 breaks
the Janus link. If I boot the 3000 under 1.3, JLink and the pseudodrive both
work just fine. Under 2.0, I never see the messages about the Janus.library
being active (on the MSDOS side), it can't find drive C:, and running JLink
gets me a "AMIGA Service not available" message. PCdisk is definitely running.
I've tried having copies of the janus.library in both Expansion and Libs:, and
BindDrivers, followed immediately by Run >nil: sys:pc/pcdisk, has been moved
from the middle to the end to the beginning of the startup-sequence.

I've been over the 2.0 side with a fine tooth dirutil, and I cannot find any
significant differences. It's not the setup, I'm almost positive. The 2.0 side
isn't running FastMemFirst, there isn't a FastFileSystem file in L:, and some
other differences that I assume aren't necessary under 2.0. It didn't work
under 2.0 as shipped, and the 2.02 upgrade didn't help. What's missing, and/or
how do I patch/trick/avoid this bug?

The owner of the system is this close || to making Commodore take it back and
buying a clone. Help!
