yippy! I works finally. I called a few weeks ago complaining that I couldn't get jlink to work 100% in the autoexec.bat startup sequence on the bridgeboard side. I got jlink to work in autoexec as long as I clicked on the pcmono icon within 15 sec (before the 5 1/4 disk light comes on). You good people tried to help me by suggesting "run" and "runback" with the "pcdisk" program in the amiga startup-sequence. But my A2000 kept freezing up. Well… I looked at a sample bridgeboard/hard drive startup sequence from Craig Wuest (spelling?). I noticed he used the typical runback, but he put his programs in the "c" directory. He also used a stack 80000. So… I copied pc/pcdisk to "c". I then added the following to my startup sequence: "runback > nil: hd0:c/pcdisk". Great Valley Products uses HD instead of DH. Consequenctly I also added an assign so I could use software buttons that were hard coded with DH: assign dh0: hd0: Now I can click on PCMONO either right away or much later and the jlink still works. BUT, I still have to have my litle time counter program just before the jlink command. That's the only way it will work after 20 seconds when the 5 1/4 light goes off.
