SCSI DRIVE COMPATIBILITY

Hi Dave,

I do not recommend any of the "combo" controllers, especially the GVP controller.  People are always having problems with the combo boards.  The Commodore A2091 SCSI controller would be your best bet.  The Amiga 2000 uses the same SCSI hard drives as the older Macintoshes did.  You should be able to find lots of the older Macs at you local Goodwill for less then $20.00 each.  If you are using Workbench 3.1 or lower, then you can not use a hard drive larger then 4 gigs.  If you are using Workbench 3.5 or 3.9 then you can use hard drives larger then 4 gigs.  NEW 1 and 2 Gig SCSI hard drives are readily available on eBay often.  I see them all the time and have even bought a few to keep as spares.     :-D

Hi Framiga,

....wellcome back, Doomy  and Happy X-Mas too.

I am NOT the famous DoomMaster.  That guy is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff.  He has been working with computers since 1983.  I have a lot of respect the guy.  I have met the DoomMaster in person.  He is actually a very nice guy.     :-D

Hi Abou27,

IS it Doomy?

No it is not Doomy.

Certainly a lot of posts in short time...

8 posts is not a lot of posts.  I like to help other folks with their Amiga problems.     :-D

Hi Chris,

Sorry if I offended you.  I just noticed that a lot of forums deal with people having problems with the GVP boards.  You either lucked out or you know what you are doing.     :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D
