Just received Elite's SVGA/multi i/o board yesterday and am trying to get it going with my AT-BB. Have the color-80 video coming from the card just fine. Mono still goes to the Amiga – do I have to remove the monochrome jumper from the AT-BB and leave it disconnected for the mono mode to go to the SVGA board? Right now I have the floppies coming from the AT-BB. They also work coming from the i/o board, unless I remove PCDisk from the user-startup file. My problem is getting the HD controller working! With the IDE controller jumper open, I get the message "1782-Disk Controller Failure", then the versions of the janus handler/library, and everything seems to stop there. Put the jumper back in, and I can boot up just fine using a boot floppy in A: (The ABoot stuff was eliminated, so it was just like starting up a fresh AT-BB). But I can't do anything with the HD (like format it) – get the message "Invalid drive specification" Drive is a Quantum ProDrive ELS 170 MByte, 1011 cylinders, 15 heads, 22 sectors. I am using Janus 2.0 (handler 2.63, library 33.1) (what came with the AT-BB) The closest thing I can select for Hard Disk 1 is type 9 (900 cylinders, 15 heads, 17 sectors 112 MB), but still can't get it to go. So what is the problem? Would upgrading to Janus 2.1 solve this problem, or am I just up the creek with this combo on the AT-BB???
