I have a GVP A3001 rev 7 in my A2000 rev 6.5 with a Quantum 40AT connected to it. When I try to prepare the harddisk, gvpprepat issues the error message "can't open gvpat.device unit 0". I have even tried to write an assembly program which attempts to open the device. DOS loads the device all right but the device returns -1 on an OpenDevice call. Gvpat.device is version 2.3. So, what does the device check in order to determine whether to open or not? jumpers? something in the drive itself? boot EPROM (I don't have a boot EPROM yet). Does my version of gvpat.device _require_ a boot EPROM? Hope someone (Ralph Babel?) will help. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Jorgen Kjaersgaard UUCP Intl.: [rutgers!|pyramid!]cbmvax!
