Hi,

I have a gvp impact series II hd+ with 8mb ram and a 540mb scsi hard drive, and a 286 add on card.

I can't find the faaastprep installation disk to install the hardrive. I am new to amiga but I have read a little on these forums and I was looking for hd_toolbox but couldn't find it??

Is it only available on newer workbenches? I have a 2.05 workbench disk but when I booted it up I got an error message about incorrect kickstart rom?

Any help would be apprieciated :)

tonto.

Hi everyone and thanks for the replies.

I have downloaded the a500hd8.dms driver file from the site Markus_Bieler mentioned. Now all I have to do is get it on my amiga?

is this hard? could I use an amiga emulator and format the drive with that?
