GURU ROM for GVP SCSI
« on: February 15, 2004, 02:18:50 PM »
I'm going to upgrade my GVP ZII SCSI card with a GURU ROM, so I'm interested to know what the latest version of the GURU ROM for GVP controllers is. I've seen both v6.9 and v6.13 for sale and I'm unsure whether v6.13 is a minor update of v6.1 or if it's actually newer than v6.9... or if there's a version newer than both of them...

Does anybody know...?

@voxel

Yeah, I guess so.  :-)

@Acill

The ROM at the GVP-M site is their own boot ROM, whereas the GURU ROM is a third party, improved, boot ROM.


Anyway, I found someone selling v6.10 at ebay, but it says the ROM comes without adapter. I've seen that the GURU ROM retail package has a picture of the chip socketed in an adapter. What's that for? Does the GURU ROM fit in the socket on my A2000-HC+8 without the adapter...?

I can get to the Schatztruhe site, but they seem to be focusing all of their marketing skills on the Orgasmatron at the moment...

Anyway, Power Computing in England and Software Hut & Mr Hardware Computers in the USA all offer the GURU ROM. I was looking to ebay to get it cheaper, but noone seems to know whether an adapter is necessary for the chip to work in my controller.
