Happy new year!
I do not have such a board myself, but noticed that the fan does not apear to be listed in the acube shop yet.

United Planets Ship Avalon 1 

Yes, if it has a TI or Cyrix 486, it has been modified, lucky you! 

If you are unaware, immediately remove the RTC (clock) battery if it is still present on the board. This will leak and destroy the FDD controller, then the rest of the board over time.

There's a lot to futz around with these cards, and upgrades are another rabbit hole for another reply. (Mine has a Cyrix 50Mhz i486 SLC-2 and math co... just because...)

Anyway, your beep, means the bridgeboard has passed BIOS POST and should display a screen. Do you have a VGA card installed in one of the ISA slots? If so, there should be a DOS screen on a VGA monitor and not your Amiga monitor.

If you do not have VGA (or any other PC graphics card) installed in an ISA slot, then you should use the monochrome or color programs installed with Janus.
I have to run monochrome anyway to get my keyboard and mouse to work, even though I have SVGA installed.

On my amiga, I get garbage in the monochrome display, that is because the bridgeboard is using VGA. For you, there should be a DOS display. Did you enter "PCPrefs" and change the default graphics mode? Try these settings:
Monochrome Display Emulation = Enabled
Default Bridgeboard Video Mode = Monochrome

Reset the "PC" with the "PC Reset" application, then open a monochrome window. You should see your DOS. If that works, then you can try color. You may have to enter the PC BIOS and properly match your display mode.

If all else fails, I'm looking at your virtual HDD partition as the culprit. I use an ISA card since the virtual partition was too slow. The partition is a great way to first set up your card, however, and it appears you did so correctly.

You mention you have an A4000, I haven't tested mine in one of those machines. There are rumors or facts relating to Zorro memory above 8MB and conflicts with the Bridgeboards. I am using an Amiga 2000 with Commodore A2091 and a total of 6MB Fast RAM, 1MB Chip. The A2000 is the best for a Bridgeboard in my opinion, since you can solder the 16-bit ISA slot extensions for a total of three 16-bit useable slots!

Hope this is helpful.

New German Issue 9/25 of the cult magazine ASM "Aktueller Software Markt" Now Available

The legendary German computer and games magazine ASM - Aktueller Software Markt is back with a new issue. What made history in the 1980s and 1990s as the first German-language multi-format games magazine lives on today – with a mix of retro topics, current game reviews, and exclusive interviews.

The new issue once again spans the spectrum from "re-testing" classics to current titles for all popular and exotic systems of the time. Returning are the familiar sections such as "Action Games" and "Adventure Corner," as well as new sections such as "Book Corner" and "In Focus," which offer previews of upcoming hits. It also features interviews with contemporary witnesses such as Stefan Piasecki, programmers such as Andreas Mettler, and cult figures such as Zak McKracken. This time, the hardware retro section focuses on the Game Boy, while in the chess section, Psion Chess ST competes against the legendary Amiga chess game Battle Chess, and in the horror cabinet, a Stone Age creation lurks.

The new issue, featuring 100 pages, includes 70 game reviews in the original, chaotic ASM layout. Anyone looking for a truly retro experience can order the magazine for the usual price of €8 from:
