Question about "GVP 1208 SCSI" for A1200
« on: June 12, 2009, 05:48:09 PM »
Does anybody know anything about this piece of equipment?  I bought a 1200 several months back and finally decided to crack the case open.  Inside I found this GVP 1208 Card but with no memory installed (can take up to 32MB).  It had a ribbon cable mounted to the outside of the case, I assume to connect an external scsi drive or SCSI cdrom.  Does anybody know anything else about this item?  Do you know if it is possible to connect an internal hard drive with this thing?  How much would somthing like this sell for on ebay?

amiga1260, do you have an internal hard drive connected or an external hard drive connected to this card?

Do you have to use the special GVP 64 pin ram or could you use any generic equivalent memory?  I see the GVP simms are quite expensive.  THanks.
