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.
