1) i assume you do not have an accelerator in your machine.  if you do,  you
must disable data caching *before* binddrivers runs.  to do this, use the
command CPU NODATACACHE.

2) make sure you installed the amiga-side software (the PCInstall disk)
on your 2.0 SYS: partition as well as your 1.3 SYS: partition.

3) do not use an overscanned workbench screen with pcwindow.

4) make sure your preferences fonts are all set to Topaz 8 - none of the
amiga-side janus stuff expects fonts other than 8x8 pixels.

5) delete sys:pc/system/sidecarsettings.table if the system dies
immediately upon starting pcwindow after you've fixed the above.

all of the above except #1 will be fixed soon...
