Thanks Doug. I really appreciate any help I can get. I am still somewhat of
a novice. Both my son and I are Amiga owners. I have the A2000 and he has
the A1000. As you know I installed a bridgecard, parallel port, i/o card
with two serial and one game port, memory expansion board, 30 meg Seagate
(partitioned) and another 5.25 drive. Everything works fine. I have also
been experimenting with jlink.sys. I have discovered that it is possible to
make df1: an ibm d: drive r/w and then make e: drive a r/o drive
(simultaneously). I have not tried to run a formatted ibm store bought disk
yet. Do you know anything about how jlink.sys works?
I still have not heard any comment from anyone about attaching an 3.5 drive
to my bridge card and converting a 34 pin edge connector to a pin connector
(rs232 type). I have a friend who builds IBM computers and he loaned me a
3.5 internal drive to try out on the bridgecard. I would like to make it an
external drive like I did my seagate 236 HD. My friend is quite fascinated by
the Amiga and simply cannot believe it will do what it can do for the price.
Let me in on any other tips you might have that would help me become more
proficient with my A2000.
Thanks, Odell
