Hi,

I got another problem with the BrigeBoard:

I got the AT Board with 8Mhz, and it works fine - if it wants. But every now
and then at the startup it doesn`t install itself at binddrivers and AMOUSE 
brings up an system request: JANUS SETUP FAILURE  The big problem is, I could
not find the cause why this happens. In fact, I boot once - it works, then I
reboot - it doesn`t work. Programs which look for expansion cards tell me some-
thing like: `It is there, but turned off`

There also is another problem - but on the Software and the Amiga side:
The Janus software doesn`t close it`s screens (most time ...) and I got to
zap them with xoper.

The last thing brings up the question: Is it the software? Could someone
please post the current version of the Janus Software? (Yeah - mine tells
me it is 2.0, but it also writes something about V36.xx)


The error occured, even if I tried different hard- and software setups.

A2000rev4, Kick 1.3 normal (512k) customchips
A2000rev6, Kick 1.3 1MByte Agnus  (this was a friend`s computer)
A2000rev4, Kick 2.0 1MByte Agnus, Super Hires Denise   **                       

On every setup I got an AlfII professional Controller with Quantum 40S and a
80M SCSI Seagate (don`t remember the number ... just its *damned* slow) and a
Supra Ram Board with 6M

And - an important thing - I got the same problems with two different AT
Emulators. I don`t know the Board Revs, but one had an external CMOS battery,
the other one seems to have it on board (on chip? the clock is SOOO big)

Could it be the HD controller or the memory board - (I couldn`t test it, the
friend I swapped motherboards with, has no HD [evil grin] and the same memory
board)

** on 2.0 it works a little bit better, but perhaps I just imagine that


Hoping for help,

  Froh
