Is the 2090 messed up? I had for some time a 2090a and a GVP Series II in my a2000 and everything was running smoothly (with 2 megs on the GVP card). I didn't have a drive installed on the GVP at that time though. I had a different problem with the bridgeboard with this setup: The bridgeboard would boot only if the card was inserted between the 2090a and the GVP card. >Brian Waters !{iuvax|pur-ee}!bsu-cs!jbwaters -- Stephane Laroche | Email: stephane@Chucla.CAM.ORG +1 514 277-8605 | Montreal, Que., Canada
