Which SCSI to use on A2000 ?

[dougal]

I have a GVP HC+8 Series II SCSI which i use in my A2000 for both SCSI and for the RAM expansion.

Today my GVP 040 Combo arrived. This too has a SCSI controller.

Should i remain using the HC+8 or is there more advantage using the one on the Combo cpu card ?

Hi orcish, Thanks for the tip.

I don't think I will need 68000 mode but I want to keep the HC+8 card in the Amiga, not necessarily because of the scsi but because of the ram.

Seeing that the GVP ram is so expensive my 040 combo has 16mb fully populated, so the extra 6mb from the HC+8 (can't use its 8mb because of the picasso ii 2mb) is nice boost.

I think there is a conflict with the HC+8 as the Amiga crashes as soon as it gets to desktop.

I removed the HC+8 and its working fine

Sysinfo says that the 16 MB RAM is 32 Bit ..... Does that mean that it is not using Zorro II address space ?

I ask because I thought it would have been 24 bit had it been using Zorro address space.

The Picasso II uses 2MB of Zorro II space and has no conflicts with the 040
