Yes more questions. My GVP HC+8 w/40 meg Quantum came back (see previous posts) but the guy at the repair shop had removed the terminating resistors that were in the Quantum. The Quantum is mounted on the card and is the only drive attached to the controller. He said GVP recommend the resistors be removed. even though it is the only drive. When the drive was supplied with the HC+8 it had the resistors in. Anyone know what the real poop is? The repair shop also sent me a copy of the latest version of the GVP Install disk they had. It has some programmes on it I have no docs for (well the original docs were very skimpy anyway.) They are: boot68000 GVPscsiCtrl FPU_Test defdisk gvpat gvpscsi The last two are in the expansion drawer. Any one have an idea what they are for. There is a new FAAASTprep called Fastprep 1.98k. It has some more menu items than the disk I got orignally with my board. They are: Bootfloppy, Calc best and Mountlist Any help gratefully received as usual Keith (I love my GVP board) Stewart "Memory is such a lovely thing...."
