Hi folks,	

I'm back with the bridgeboard problem.	

My setup:  3000, 105 Quantum, 1 meg of ram, 880k floppy, 1.44 MSDOS floppy
2286 AT bridgeboard and Amax II.

Here's how I set it up.

Made 4 partitions: WB1.3, WB2.x, Work and Amax.

Installed Workbench2.0 and 1.3.  Then I put the line: run >nil: pc/pcdisk in my
startup-sequence after the binddrivers command.  I ran makeab work:fake_c and 
created a 20 meg file called fake_c.  The parameters I used was 4, 17 and 615.
Then I created my ABOOT.CTRL file in sys:pc/system with the line work:fake_c in
it.

I reboot,  run PCColor.  It boots up with a Dos 4.01 floppy.  The Janus handler
(or library I forget which) loaded message does NOT come up!  I try fdisk an
it comes up with no fixed disk present message!  When I first got the machine
I had the same problems.  However, I just opened the machine and it miraculously fixed itself.  It found the hard drive.  Now it's back to the old problem.

Any clues to what I'm doing wrong here?  I partitioned the hard drive about 10-
15 times yesterday and followed the procedures as outlined in the manual with
no luck.  I even opened the machine up hoping for some of that good ole luck, 
but I was SOL.

Needless to say the Amax II is fully up and running!
