Ron, YES you can run PC-task at the same time as the bridge board. I have done this very thing many times. The purpose (and a hint for the people upgrading to the new cheap 386 BB's) was when I upgraded from my XT BB to the 386 BB, I decided I would need a larger virtual `c:' drive. I moved my old fakec to another partition, allowed the BB setup util to create the DriveC file, fired up PC-Task and copied all the old files in FakeC to DriveC with the bridegboard running. Worked like a charm! I did have to reboot the BB before it would acknowledge the new files as being there. I wouldn't try to do any serious work that way, may confuse the system as to what is actually on disk, but for simply copying files it is great, true MSDOS multitasking! …Steve ====>>> Motorola 68030 Inside <<<====
