Been working on my A2000 and A2386SX bridgeboard and it's been giving me fits, to say the least.
My hard drive controller is a GVP Impact A2000 HC+8 Series II with Guru ROM v. 6.13.
I got to wondering if the source of my problems might be the controller and am considering replacing it in hopes of resolving my problems.
However, I realize there is a dearth of controllers out there and not sure which one to replace it with.
So, how about a discussion about the pros and cons of the various hard drive controllers for the A2000?
Comments regarding ease of use, flexibility, and compatibility with bridgeboards would be appreciated.
This discussion could also be used as a future reference for other users down the line.
So, tell us what you've got. Why you selected it. Vagaries of its use. Etc., etc. etc.
the gvp controller has nothing to do with the bridgeboard problem.. what exactly are the problems you are having? is the mask and max transfer on the drives set correctly?
remember the ram on the gvp and bridgeboard share the same space and together can only be 8MB. could this be the trouble?
