-
- I wonder if somebody could help with my problems with Bridgeboard setuping.
-
- I have A4000 with 2 Mb chip + 4 Mb fast memory, 810 Mb harddisk (IDE),
- 4xCD-ROM (ATAPI-IDE).
-
- I decided to purchase Bridgeboard for working with Windows/Excel. So I
- got 386sx Bridgeboard (Commodore) equippend with 387 co-processor running
- at 25MHz and total of 5 Mb RAM memory (ZIP). For starters I'm using
- harddisk file as PC harddisk on Amiga partition. As floppydrive I use
- Amiga floppydrive as shared & internal & dual speed (1.4 Mb).
-
- Problems I have encountered:
-
- 1. BB won't recognice the additional 4 Mb of memory on board, if I try to
- populate board only with 4 Mb of memory (stripping 256 Kb ZIPs of and
- relocating 1 Mb ZIPs starting from bank 0), screen appears black, but
- RAmiga+Q still works for quitting. I also get errormessage "Invalid
- configuration information" witch I have traced to be dependent about the
- setting of on-board extended memory. If the setting is not 0 Kb, I will
- get the errormessage.
-
- 2. Is there any possibility for getting BB to access CD-drive?
-
- 3. Is it possible to get BB to use save partition (not harddisk file) as
- PC-Task?
-
- I hope somebody could help me with my problems.
