Bill, I've got an A2286 bridgeboard with a separate HD on the PC side. My setup is a bit different than yours, since I'm not using a janus partition on my Amiga drive. I'm also using a separate VGA card and monitor. The presence of the VGA card affects my ability to run on the Amiga screen and might also explain why I can see the mouse pointer and you can't. The one obvious difference that I see in our settups is that I have not disabled the mono screen. Offhand, I can't see why that might make a difference, but I thought I'd mention it anyway. Here's how my setup works: With the normal color scheme for the DOSshell, the mouse pointer is a cyan colored block cursor. It does show up on my screen whether or not the mouse is actively controlling it. It's a bright CYAN block on the vga screen, but not on the Amiga emulation. On the Amiga screen, it becomes invisible when the BG color is cyan. With the standard color scheme, only the menu line at the top and the prompt line at the bottom are cyan. I'll try a bit more experimenting and let you know if I discover anything. Hope this helps, 8) David
