I just recently received received a GVP Series II (with the memory expansion but it is unpoulated at this time) controller and a 40 Meg Harddrive. Since I have a 2088 bridge board in my 4.3 B2000 I thought I'd put a partition on the hard drive for it, since a utility is included on the disk with it I suspect it's suported. But after I installed the software (Janus 2 I believe. I bought it used and the person I bought it from told me it was version 2) on the hard drive to use it, whenever I started the pcwindows I'd get a requester informing that a library could not be found (Janus didn't tell which library though.) So I whipped out the boot up disk that I used to boot up the bridge board before the hard-drive and rebooted the amiga. I received the same requester. Knowing it worked before the hard-disk I removed it and used the old boot disk again and the bridge card booted just fine. After I replaced the hard-drive (with out even binddriving it (I've got 1.2 ROMS not auto-boot... :-( Anyone got 1.3 ROMS they'd like to sell?)) it was back to the old can't find library. Anybody else have a problem like this? And if so how did you correct it? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Stephan Iannce (siannce@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU) AKA Twinkie the Sponge Cake, and The Kilroy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you BOOT from this disk, or just use the software from it? I've not yet
heard anything about Bridgeboard/Series II incompatabilities. The only
problems I've had with the Series II drives were A500 controllers on
Ancient revision motherboards for the A500.
