Jim, How much memory do you have in your machine and how is it configured? (i.e. – how much CHIP ram, how much FAST ram, how much ram on the GVP board, is it FAST or Extended ram?) Due to the Bridgeboard's design, you can't have a full 8 megs of FAST ram in your A2000 when you have one. If you have 8 megs of ram on your GVP card, at least 4 megs of that ram must be configured as Extended ram, depending on what other ram cards you might have in your system. Are you using a janus disk to boot your BB? If so, you might want to try booting the BB from a floppy until you get things sorted out. Under 2.04+, you should be using "SYS:Tools/Enforcer >nil: quiet" in your startup-sequence before the Binddrivers command. Of course, check to make certain that you have the Enforcer program in the SYS:Tools directory before making the change. Some people have reported good results with a second BindDrivers command near the end of the startup-sequence file. PCPrefs from Janus 2.0 will not run under AmigaDOS 2.0. The 2.1 release of the Janus software fixes this. There are reports that it is now available by ordering the Janus 2.0 package, but this has not been officially confirmed. It's an annoyance, but as long as you can live with your old prefs, you can still use the BB. Which Bridgeboard are you using? There are some instructions in the GVP manual relating to the BB. You might want to read over that section. Hope this helps, 8) David
