[comp.sys.amiga] GVP Impact 500 woes

jsw@lorax.umiacs.umd.edu (Jeff Webber) (08/19/89)

I just recieved my GVP Impact A500 40q (40 meg quantum drive) and would
like to tell all about some problems and/or complaints and/or complements.

1) The dauterboard that contains the sockets for the Fast Ram expansion
was loose in the case.  (did not know this until I opened the box to see
why I could not autoboot - my first thoughts were that they left the 
board or roms out).

2) there is no documentation for the autoboot/game switch so one must guess
about it (problem was hampered by (1).

3)  Minor complaint - the fan is much too loud.

I am not going to comment about the sudden disappearence of all my drawers
unless this repeats itself. (well I just commented :-) )

Although some have complained about GVP's installation scripts I like
them as they set up the hard disk the way I wanted it with a minimum of
work.  (read none)
