Can you run BindDrivers twice in your startup-sequence? Once to bind in some drivers, and then again to do some more? Or will this cause problems? Thanks, Darin, SPC Superbase Technical Support

I've done it successfully in the past with a 2090 controller loaded from floppy and later again to mount a bridgeboard. Depends on the type of drivers, i would think. In my case I had two expansion drawers as the icons are read and then matched up with boards with the same product numbers. -Greg

Darin, I've successfully done that. The trick is to control what files are in the "sys:expansion" drawer at the time of the "BindDrivers". When I was doing this type of thing, I used a couple of drawers that I "appropriately" renamed to Expansion just before the 'binddrivers', using ARexx scripts. – BobR

Darin: I know some folks that find that running Binddrivers in two different places is the only way they can get their bridgboards to work properly under 2.04 Michael ….from the north coast

Darin, No…it won't cause problems. Don
