Greetings one and all.

I seek information.

First what appears to be my misconception.

I know that the Amiga 2000 is limited to 9mb of 16 bit memory.  I know
that when a bridgeboard is added you can only have a maximum of 6mb's
of memory.  I also _thought_ that if you wanted to have a bridgeboard
and you wanted to go above 6mb of memory you could add an accellerator
board and 32bit memory.  I _thought_ that this 32bit memory would be
placed so that a bridgeboard would not interfer.  I guess this is
not correct.

We (Video Computer Resources) attempted to put a 33mhz GVP 68030
board in a Amiga 2000 with a AT Bridgeboard.  The customer purchased
the 8 megabyte version of the board.  We can get everything to work
if we pull 4 megabytes of the 32bit memory.  If we leave all 8 
in, the Janus software fails with a 'unable to open library' error
message.

Is the memory configuration the problem, or are there other
possibilites.
 
Your thoughts are appreciated.
