I have been thinking about purchasing one of the new 22mhz GVP "All-In-One" accellerator cards for my A2000HD. The 22mhz only comes with 1MB of RAM on it. However, I have a 2091 hard drive controler with 2MB of RAM on it giving me a total of 3MB. Now, the GVP card has a SCSI controler on it already, so I would like to use it instead of my 2091 controler. My question is this; can I continue to use the 2091 as a RAM card (with no hard drives hooked up to it) and use the controler on the GVP board instead, or will something conflict and not work right? I'd hate to hhave to spend gobs of money on all new 32 bit ram at the moment.. -- ........................................................................... : Bob Maple, The Brazilian : Tune in next time for "Stupid White People //: : bmaple@nyx.cs.du.edu : Tricks!" -SNL _ // : ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::........................................\\//..:

It should work fine; that's why we have an auto-config architecture. Of course, I don't have any direct knowlege of the GVP hardware in question. BTW, 32-bit ram makes a BIG difference with '030's. You might want to try to sell the 2091 with ram and buy some 32-bit ram. -- Randell Jesup, Jack-of-quite-a-few-trades, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Disclaimer: Nothing I say is anything other than my personal opinion.
