I've borrowed & may buy a used XT bridgeboard from a friend. I have a 3000, so I can't connect the internal 5.25" drive from his 2000. How would I go about setting this thing up? I know I can create a 'fake' DOS disk on my HD, but I have to be able to actually boot the bridgeboard & run Fdisk to do so.... Any ideas on how to go about setting this thing up? How about getting a floppy hooked up? (I know I can plug a drive b: into the back, but what about a drive a:?) Any other tricks I should know about getting it to work under 2.0? I saw something about turning off the I-cache before running binddrivers (can I re-enable it afterwards?) Right now I have the Amiga side of a 2-meg fake partition ready to go (sitting inside a 'real' 2 meg partition that used to be called WB_1.3: :-). When I run PCMono (w/out running PCDisk first), I get a "ad drive a:" message. When I run PCDisk & then PCMono, I get a "Could not open autoboot file." PCColor seems to only open the screen & menus & give me a cursor, but I get no communication with the bridgeboard. Neither seems to want to go to interlace when I select that option. Has anyone had any experience with Bridge Drive commander, which apparently lets you use your Amiga drives as PC drives? Has it been tested on a 3000? Also, how can the 5.25 drive that came with the bridgeboard be plugged into his 2000 to be used as an Amiga drive?
