I use the A2286 BB in my A3000 along with a multi-function card (In fact im using Q-modem right now to write this message from the IBM side) The command that youhave to place in the startup-sequence is this run >nil: cpu nodatacache binddrivers Binddriveers should follow and the two of these should be at the top of your startup sequence. This will allow you to use the BB under 2.0 Also, you will have to get ahold of a 3 1/2" 720k or 1.44 IBM compt. floppie or place the 5 1/4" that comes with the BB in an external case. I find it much more easy to just get a 1,4 meg 3 1/2" and place it in the other 3 1/2" internal drive bay. you will have to get your drive cable that comes with the bridegboard modified to work with the 3 1/2" as it is too short and the connector is too larng for most 3 1/2" drives. Do all this toss in a VGA/multi-function card, and you are all set. I also recommend doing the patch to speed up the virtual drive. Tim
