GVP 2000 HC+8 and 50 pin HD... strange experience.

When you use the HC8+ in your 2000, did you try powering the 50 pin hard drive from the PSU rather than the card?

I connected directly the HD to the PSU immediately... 50 pin HDs and 68 pin HDs... I do not like attaching directly to the card...

Did you try terminating & un-terminating the 50 Pin SCSI drive.
Also & depending on what WB version u use, what about gvpscsi & gvpdat in the wbstartup drawer?

Yeah.....on the install disk, you need to copy gvpscsi & gvpdat to the wb startup drawer. This should allow you to run the prep software & partition the Hard drive. After a re-boot, you will be able to format the NEW icons on your desktop.

Termination HAS to be right though! Just try 1 hard drive WITH Termination ON

With a single hard drive on the card, do not terminate the rear of the card. Just try with a Terminated & unterminated hard drive. Copy gvpscsi & gvpdat to your wbstartup drawer & reboot before you try fastprep.
Heck knows what to do for sure on WB2..It's so long ago!
As a matter of interest, what WB version are you using?
