The Amiga drive isn't even mounted as of yet and when I get my BB working reliably (due to other problems, NOT the one I'm describing) I may use it as an independent UUSPOOL: partition to increase UUCP throughput by separating the drives. Anyways, if I reboot (CTL-ALT-DEL) the PC with PCDIsk running, the BB will print Can't find file SYS:PC/System/ABoot.CTL or whatever the file is. I have NEVER attempted to make this partition so the BB has NO reason to look for this. When I create it and leave it blank - the same thing. This wouldn't bother me if it printed it once and got on with it's life. Would the Commodore 2088 BB do this? NOOOOO. It insists on printing it 15 gazillon (about 50) times every time any sort of I/O access is done. Sometimes the access isn't even to a drive (it just randomly prints it). This is printed regardless of whether there is a graphics screen currently displayed by some IBM program or not. Why does it do this? How can I stop it (short of removing PCDisk every time I reboot)? Does anyone have a clue or an inkling as to what's going on here? -- Craig Lemon - Kitchener, Ontario.
