Don,
The problem doesn't seem to on powerup. I took binddrivers out of the
startup script. The Seagate autoboots Amigados ok, but I still get a crash
when I execute binddrivers from a shell prompt long after Amigados is up and
running (This is of course before I access the PC side, in which the first step
would be binddrivers). As I understand it from the CBM rep, the wait problem
is the Seagate delaying, and the Amiga not waiting, at the execution of
binddrivers. Which I guess is why binddrivers boots the PC ok with a floppy as
sys:. Also, binddrivers works ok from the Seagate if the Janus devicKf not
in the expansion drawer. I guess ths, its not really doing anything. Somehow
this must be related to the inability to jlink to the Seagate.
The drive is powered by the Amiga and I do have the autoboot ROM.
After crashing, if I wait at the guru screen the PC floppy light does come back
on again ( I guess that's the completion of the Bridge diagnostics?). However
a reset with CTL=Amiga=Amiga, apparently resets the Bridge connection also
(When I come back up, and try to open the PC, I get a "couldn't find library"
error). I'm going to get back to GVP, they seemed to be familiar with this
drive. Happy New Year.
