First, verify your cabling and termination.

Next, how are you prepping the drive? Commodore's prep scripts expect scsi.device, and that board's using gvpscsi.device. Do you have a GVP install disk? Try using that instead. Alternatively, force HDToolbox to use gvpscsi.device (change the SCSI_DEVICE_NAME tooltype).

Is this your board? Is there any RAM installed? You can only have 4MB installed, since the 4MB on the 2630 will suck up the rest of your Zorro II address space. That might explain why it kinda-sorta works when you disabled the accelerator.

Try taking 2MB off the GVP card. Even though the 2630 has only 2MB installed, it might be allocating the full 4MB of address space.

Don't change it to GVPSCSI.DEVICE, but gvpscsi.device. Device names are one of the few things that are case-sensitive with the Amiga.

No - I had a similar setup - the 2630 only allocates the actual memory it has.

Good to know, thanks.
