386BB Locked Up!!!
2 messages in this thread
HE-E-E-E-L-L-L-P-P!! My wonderful A4000, 386BB system has gone belly up on
the IBM side. I have been using the 386BB in my 2000 since about August,
and my 4000 since late October with few problems. I have had the ATI
Vantage VGA just about all that time. A couple of weeks ago, I got a hard
drive and controller just for my BB side, and got all that going and was
working with it just fine. However, now I can't get over to the BB side at
all! The PC icon just locks up, the Z-Z-Z pointer locks up, and I have to
reboot just to get my Amiga back. I have reseated the board several times,
removed the VGA and hard drive, removed half my memory — same thing! SOB!
I am far from any authorized Amiga service. I have to get my stuff mail
order, basically. So — any suggestions? Comments? If I have to get it
repaired, what does someone like me do?

Never mind. Apparently, there is a PD Unix shell (SKsh, I believe) which I
had been trying out and which would seem to trash the BB in a major way!
Anyway, after all that, all it took was 4 semi-colons in my User-Startup.
Whew! Beware SKsh, all you BB users, or at least someone upload a
work-around to allow the two to co-exist.
