I've got a question:  is there any way to mount my CD drive internally with my GVP SCSI board?  The GVP board has a 50 meg drive installed on it, and is also talking to an external LaCie hard drive.  Can these GVP boards somehow connect to three SCSI devices (one external, two internal), or should I be looking for another SCSI controller?


Up to seven scsi devices off the controller. So a 50pin internal unit will work fine. Might as well get a CD burner while your at it.

longer internal SCSI cable (it's actually *really* long, with way more connectors than I need, but it'll do for now!), and the Amiga fired right up with the internal HDD, (now) internal CD, and external LaCie HDD.  So far I haven't had any termination issues, and everything is working smoothly.


So far...  Try to keep that scsi cable as short as possible.

Upgrades to consider:
'040 with ram and scsi onboard.
MegaChip
PicassoII

damn tinkertoys ;)
