I've been trying to get a friends A2000 to work prorperly with
aread, awrite and jlink. Specifically PCDISK doesn't seem to work.

The situation:
an A2000 with 1 meg of memory, a Bridgeboard, a 30 meg hard drive
with controller on the PCside, (IE: DJMOUNTed from the amiga side
for the amiga partition.)

the config.sys on the pc side has the device=jdisk.sys statement.

Bringing the machine up from power off boots the amiga and PC sides,

after opening the bridgeboard window ffrom workbench, and clicking on
PCDISK,
still yields a failure of the Aread or Awrite to do anything, and
Jlink fails to find the amiga side of the connection.
rebooting only the bridgeboard side (CTRL ALT DEL) causes the
AMIGA side CLI's etc. etc. to generate nothing but garbage on any
keypresses but the PCside can now do an aread or awrite, or Jlink
sucessfully.

all the proper software is in its correct drawers...
janus.library is in the Expansion directory
and the devs: directory has the janus.device stuff in it...

I'm at a loss.... any and all possible explainations would be
GREATLY appreciated...
thanks
