A few questions about the GVP Impact A500 HD8+ Series II

[smerf]

Hi,
Had a gvp card for my old Amiga 2000, when I tried to get it working I had to change a line from SCSI to gvp.SCSI I believe it was in the HD setup. Can not totally remember for it has been about 5 years or more since I played with SCSI drives.

The point here is that you must use the correct name for the SCSI driver, which is dependent on the interface used, so this would be gvp.SCSI for an A500 or A2000.

gvpscsi.device or omniscsi.device, depending on if you have the Guru-ROM.

I switch on a GVP each morning first thing with my 500 in the workshop. Sadly the drives do eventually die but they are a pretty hard working unit. Fortunately I have enough to see me out.

The 590 is funny cus it has this fan that will kick in at odd times. I just tap the case and it stops. Thing is it is so noisy it will wake up the neighbourhood .. so I do have to remember I left it on. I could disable it but just adds a bit of character to the unit.

Some of the GVPs power up on the switch and others power up when the Amiga powers up. My Turbo only kicks in when the 500 fires up. The one in the Workshop runs from the switch from the getgo. I actually prefer the 590s on the XT.

Thanks for the correction. Can't believe I got that wrong..... Must be getting old.
