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

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?

I tried (1) and I had no results! Simply the card sees the HDs (type, BIOS revision and so on) but cannot determine the dimension, so it's not usable.
I will try (2) ASAP. I would like to use OS3.1... I also tried booting from the GVPScsi floppy (using Faaastprep) and I had no results, I have to check if these files are already in wbstartup of this floppy.

maybe they are "special" workstation HDDs...

maybe you answered somewhere...
HDD work in A3000 and A1200, you can read parameters, partitioning, format?
did you try a PC with SCSI controller? --> format in pc scsi

I checked ALL the HD in my A3000 (they are seen and works great) and in my 2940UW in my PC (and again they are ok).
I created the data on the OS floppy in the A3000 and I forced them in the A2000 and... NOTHING!!! Incredible...
This will remain one of the greatest misteries of the Amiga world!
