Thanks for lthe info on motherboards. Dennis Dran
Sounds like you nailed it. I'll give CBM a call. Thanks for your help. Dennis Dran
When its on the fritz, nothing. It keeps displaying that character repeatedly. By experimentation, though, it seems that moving the keyboard or cable can stop it, but I can't find an exact position that always works. A friend said they had a similar problem with many characters when he spilled…
#repeating characters
Message #34042
I have an A2000, with a GVP 030 25 combo accelerator, a GVP impact memory card with 2meg installed and a flicker fixer. The motherboard is rev 4.1 I have recently developed an intermittent problem where a left apostrophe " ' " repeats constantly whenever a text screen is open…
Don, Thanks. The missing part of my previous message asked if there was an update to the 2088 software in the past year or so that might have speeded up hard disk access. I heard that some improvements had been made when developing the 20286 software. Is jlinked hardisk access…

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is there, or will there be an on an Amiga hard disk. Completely filling the MS dos partion with filesand them deleting them was is a very time-consuming process (I und rstand this is necessary to prevent loss of data). Also disk access…

##29110 Bnd Crash
Message #29247
Don, Your assumptions are correct and I think I read you right. Booting from the floppy also tells me that there's nothing wrong with the software on the floppy. Yes, I have recopied the software on the harddrive, more than once. I've completely erased the harddrive and copied all the…
#New Janus?
Message #29098
Don, By the way, the Feb '89 AW says, in the Help Key column; "The 1.3 Amiga operating system upgrade contains a new version of the Janus library and a new set of PC Tools to work with it.". The PC Tools are on the Extras disk, but I haven't…
#Bnd Crash
Message #29095
Don, I know the expansion and sidecar directories are ok because the pc side works ok when I boot from a floppy, and because I can jlink to a floppy. And I compared the hard drive directories to those on the floppy and they are correct. I've been hearing that…

Message #28427
Don, The problem doesn't seem to on powerup. I took binddrivers out of the startup script. The Seagate autoboots Amigados ok, but I still get a crash when I execute binddrivers from a shell prompt long after Amigados is up and running (This is of course before I access the…

Message #7269
Just picked up a hard drive for my 2000 and have a question about using a partition through bridgeboard as a virtual drive. I thought I remembered seeing some messages that recommended completely filling the pc partition then removing the files before using in order to avoid losing data, and…
#1.3 & HD's
Message #117767
I understand from A/W that 1.3 will boot from an "appropriate" hard disk. That is, one with an Amiga-specific boot rom. Would that be something in the controller or the hard disk itself? If in the controller, does CBM's 2090 have it? Any others? Anyone have an idea of when…

#pc type HD
Message #115026
I havean A200 and a bridgeboard and am interested in getting a hard drive. I have the following questions about the relative merits of installing a 1 Amiga side vs. the PC side: Is there a loss in speed using a PC side drive from the Amiga side? (As opp…
1/5/88
Message #109061
I have the 1/5/88 release of the wp disks and I can't seem to get the program to store printer definitions to the program disk. The result is that the print disk needed in a drive each time a document is printed. Didn't have this problem with earlier versions. Any…

Message #91507
I have version 4.1 of the motherboard with the big beads. My dealer is mail order and I didn't want to ship it back and forth again, so I snipped. I use an old vcr as a tuner to drive the A 1080 and I didn't notice any RFI with…
