Hard Disk for GVP Impact Series II

[danbeaver]

You never stated which OS you were using as 3.9 supports hardware better than 3.1/3.5. I have GVP II series SCSI controller with Mech's (http://www.A4000T.com) SCSI Card reader (~62 USD RANGE) and it reads at least up to 16GB cards on it, compared to a SCSI HDD, it seems just as fast and is quiet. It allows me to plug in a CF card with a different OS and boot into it. It is also hot swappable. The HDD in that A2000 is no challenge, just a 500MB Seagate, and a DVD ROM in the lower bay. I mostly use the CF card with storage on an inexpensive SD card. Oh, I'm using GVP ROM V 4.15

I'm afraid the HDToolbox in OS 3.1 will have issues with you HDD's; you know anyone who can format and partition them first (using OS 3.9 + BB2 or OS 4.1)?

After that they should be OK; I don't know about your GVP ROM version, but 3.1 will see them as regular hard drives. I boot into 3.1 or 3.5 to mess with WHDLoad on my A4000 and the A4091 could care less. The GVP VER 4.15 on my A2500 does fine with >4GB CF cards under 3.1 but they are formatted in OS 3.9 BB4.
