I am still having problems with my bridgeboard. It still takes the system and locks it up once I access the PC window. (I am sharing a PC hardcard with the PC board and the Amiga both having partitions on it.) I am using the PC hardcard as the system for the Amiga. Once I access anything in the PC window, the Amiga will lock up if I try to go back to the workbench. It does this even if I close the PC display. The only things in memory are the command.com, mmouse.com, and a 48 byte block designated as "free" mem. I do not have any TSR programs that run except Direct Access menu program, and I have exited to Dos prior to closing the window, but it still doesn't help. However, if I do a warm boot on the PC board, and then immediately exit and close the window, I do get my workbench back. This is shorter than the 90 sec. boot routine for the Amiga/PC combined, but still takes 30 sec. to get back to the workbench while the PC reboots. This just isn't right, but I'm at a loss to figure it out. Kit Pepperd 70632,2166

I seem to recall some behavior like that. I'm sure Don will have some better advice than I, but my problems were traced back to the amiga side and the paths and locations of bb files. I had no problems is I booted from a floppy (the amiga floppy, that is) I never got to the pc-warm bboot/exit part so I can't comment there. Charlie McCready Hughes Aircraft
