Hi kwoolridge,

"3. Some GVP controllers. For a while, it seemed like all the email I received was from owners of GVP controllers.

For many of these people, upgrading to the Guru ROM solved their problems.

Disabling termination on some of these boards is also non-trivial; Guru ROM author Ralph Babel explains:

"Most GVP cards use only two 10-pin SIP terminators _plus_ two extra resistors (SMD, except for the very first revisions of the Series-II hard card) for the parity line for a total of 17 terminated lines (they leave out the RST line)."

The use of SMD (Surface Mount Device) resistors complicates disabling termination on these boards. It will be simplest for many users to reorganize the SCSI bus so that the controller is on one end."

I'm no expert but I hope this helps.
