IDE4Zorro2 with GVP 030 Combo board
« on: January 27, 2018, 03:10:44 PM »
Has anyone successfully gotten the above working together in an A2000?

My IDE4Zorro2 worked just fine until I dropped the 030 board in and then it disappeared!  Tried disabling the autoboot ROM and set the jumper for no SCSI drive installed and it still doesn't want to boot from the IDE board.  It isn't even seen!

HELP!!!!

Well nuts.  Guess we can add the GVP 030 Combo board to the list of non-compatibles!

Tried completely removing the autoboot ROM and it still wouldn't recognize the IDE board.

Moved the IDE controller to several other slots with no luck either.

Guess I'm back to adding SCSI drives and CD-ROM instead of IDE.

Phooey!  Was hoping to get to IDE so it'd be a bit easier to find drives if/when a drive dies.

Ya know, for a computer that's supposed to be easy to use, it sure isn't easy adding hardware, sometimes!

So, I'm trying to install the GVP SCSI.  Downloaded the appropriate driver (in dms format), ran the dms program I have (DMSWb) and all I ever get is NDOS disks!

As Capt. Dylan Hunt of Andromeda said, "It's never easy."

Now to amiftp to find a new dms program.

Thanks for the heads up on the Buddha ide card.  Had one of those WAY back when installed in an A500 with a Bodega Bay chassis.  Had a bit of trouble convincing it the CF cards were IDE, but finally got it working.  May look into that option.

Individual is make buddha ide cards again.. scsi is much better,but that might be a option if you need ide.

Well, put the Buddha card on order.

BTW, while I'm waiting for the Buddha card to make it across the "pond", does anyone have a GVP prep disk they'd be willing to make a copy of for me?  I've been trying to d/l the latest, but for some reason I can't seem to get a good write from any of my disk masher programs.  Always end up with an NDOS disk.  Would really like to have it for the Combo card, just in case...

Who me?  Paranoid?  Nah, I'm just working on an Amiga!!!
