New hard drive for an A2000.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's a 50pin scsi it SHOULD work A-OK out of the box. I'm assuming you have a reasonable scsi card, you didn't mention.

The accelerator is also a SCSI card. The hard drive thats in there is a 52mB Quantum 50 pin drive.

Ok, still not much info:-) It's probably a C= A2091 SCSI board I'd guess, they were common in A2000s. But still AFAIK all known Zorro SCSI cards should be able to handle a 1Gig HD. Check to make sure the terminator is in place on the drive.

The card is a GVP combo accelerator 22mHz 030/memory/scsi card .

OOOH! I see the SCSI is on the GVP accelerator! I didn't get that the first time around :-D  I thought you meant it was on a separate card.

Try it out, don't frustrated. If you hit a snag come back here and ask. You may need the original install/utility disks that came with your GVP accelerator. It should have some kind of HD utility for partitioning, initializing etc.
