A few questions about the GVP Impact A500 HD8+ Series II

[motrucker]

Digging up old thread... sorry  Asked in FB Commodore Amiga group also but figured I would ask here as well as it's easier searching google if it's someplace like here

Is anyone with this drive *NOT* using the U-Shaped FCC RF shield that comes with the unit?  I'm picking one of these up on ebay and it doesn't come with the shield so wanted to ensure I could safely operate it without this shield.  I'm assuming so, but always better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks!

I used to use one of these units with my first A500, and never used that "U" shaped "shield". Never had any issues with anything.

Hi,
Had a gvp card for my old Amiga 2000, when I tried to get it working I had to change a line from SCSI to gvp.SCSI I believe it was in the HD setup. Can not totally remember for it has been about 5 years or more since I played with SCSI drives.

The point here is that you must use the correct name for the SCSI driver, which is dependent on the interface used, so this would be gvp.SCSI for an A500 or A2000.

gvpscsi.device or omniscsi.device, depending on if you have the Guru-ROM.

Thanks for the correction. Can't believe I got that wrong..... Must be getting old.
