GVP Impact Series II 2000 HC+8 & PicassoIV conflict
« on: April 08, 2004, 09:59:01 PM »
I have an A2000 which has a SCSI HD and extra RAM by way of a GVP Impact Series II 2000 HC+8 Rev. 4 (http://www.amiga-hardware.com/gvphc8_big.jpg). Recently, I acquired a PicassoIV card for it.
Either card works fine and dandy by itself, but together they're trouble... All I get is a yellow screen and constant resets (pre-boot).

I don't have the manual for the GVP card, so I'm not inclined to touch any of the jumpers (because, frankly, I don't see how changing any of them might help). I do suspect that there's a memory conflict, since I've read that the Picasso card requires other expansion cards to place their memory in extended modus. I've tried limiting the memory the Picasso card uses by closing jumper 1, but that didn't help, so I'm guessing I have to do something with the GVP card.

Does anyone know how to make them work together?

Ah, I didn't know that. :)

Ok, I removed the extra ram modules on the Impact card so that it now only has 4 megs (total for system is 5 megs, with one meg chip ram). I now get a new error, "gvpscsi.device. Unexpected Status, Unit XXX (no. changes)" & a continue button...
