SUCCESSSSSSS!!!!! I was at dealers today looking at the new a2500.He mentioned that his bridgecard wasn't working since he'd reformatted and restored his hard drive.I started fooling around and at one point noticed that during boot when the binddrivers command was executing the IBM sides drive lite wasn't coming on. So I went to CLI and ran binddrivers.The Bridges drive lite came on and the bridge came up.I went to the PCwindow and noticed a line I'd never seen before "JANUS HANDLER V2.2 FOUND AT E000".I then typed JLINK <return> and it gave me the status of the drives as it should.Now I ran home with a bright idea.I deleted JANUS.Library from df0:expansion so the boot binddrivers wouldn't see the bridgecard.After booting and switching over to DH1: and assigning all the logical devices to DH1: I placed JANUS.Library in DH1:Expansion and ran bindrivers. What do you know!! Upon opening PCWindow I saw "JANUS HANDLER V2.2 FOUND AT E000". I then managed to jlink to DH2:VIR/msdos /c:2000. What gives? Was the Amiga System not ready at the original bindrivers command? Does it or the bridge need time to get their respective **** together before talking to each other? WHY WASN"T THIS IN THE ALMOST USELESS MANUAL? Anyway I'm not going to start flaming Commodore. Next,I seem to remember some threads about filling a JLINKed drive the first time its used,then throwing out the files you don't need.Is this correct? I have gone ahead and done so since its such an easy thing to do.Any other oddities that need mentioning.Also after all of this is figured out,I'm going to edit together a step by step how and why to upload here so that some other unfortunate soul dosn't have such a hard time. Thanks for all the wonderful advice,Allen
