HELP! I am the lucky recipient of a brand new A2000 PC Bridgeboard—that doesn't work. I am sure I installed it correctly. Maybe not but I am willing to recheck that part. I followed all the directions and rechecked them. When I click on the "pc mono" icon I received the prompt, "couldn't find library." According to the instructions, if you receive this prompt, you should insert the MS-DOS Disk into the 5 and 1/4 drive. This I did. I got another prompt that said, "system failure, cannot continue." I have rechecked the board and the disk drive. I don't know if the problem is software or hardware. I have yet to get the five and 1/4 disk to run, not even a light. I looked through the pc utility disk which came with my board. Using the every ready "CLImate" I notice that the startupsequences used to activate the pc board all mentioned HARD DISKS. I don't have a hard disk yet. I am wondering if the correct startup sequence is included with the board. Since I don't know much about computers I am really overwhelmed by it all. I love my amiga and I have to have everything that will work on it (two internal 3 and 1/2, pc compatibility and hard disk coming for Christmas. If you can help me solve this problem I would appreciate it greatly. According to my dealer, I have the first Brigdeboard in our area. They sold the first one to me. They say they know nothing about it. It has been suggested that I bring my A2000 to their store and leave it for a few days while they attempt to sort out the problem. I don't think I could stand that so I am appealing to you for help. Thanks, Odell, 70701,3624 (Williamsburg, VA) /ex
