Got a GVP HC8 S2 - Need advice
« on: February 21, 2012, 11:45:04 AM »
My GVP HC8 Series II arrived today. It did not come with a hard drive but i have 2 SCSI hard drives laying around at home.

The one i intend to use is a 1GB hard drive. According to the manual the scsi terminator should be removed. Is that right ?

Any advise to make my life easier as i have never dealt with SCSI before ?

Thanks Robert. It was actually really easy to setup. All i did was disable the onboard terminator power of the hard drive and set the scsi id to 0 and then i ran the GVP install software and it worked first go :)

That's good :-) Do you have any memory fitted to the board?


It has 8MB :)
