Jim Please tell me what you want to do, and I'll try to help. If you are trying to use HDToolbox with your GVP host adaptor, just change the tooltype to SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=gvpscsi.device. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1, Mac System 7.1, and Windows 3.11
Steve I think its in the GVP FaaaaaaaaastROM. Try typing "version gvpscsi.device" in a shell. You don't need to give a path. The system will find it. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1, Mac System 7.1, and Windows 3.11

QUICKEN on AMIGA
Message #209005
Paul Account and category information can be exported and imported between the DOS and Mac versions. In fact, I've been experimenting with software on my Psion (palmtop) and it imported by Mac Quicken data with now problem using the .qif format.

The 020 used in the A1200 is a 32 bit processor. The 24 bit limitation is in the address bus. It can only address 16 M, rather than 4 Gig. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1, Mac System 7.1 and Windows 3.11 (in one old A2000)

Paul I used to run Quicken for MSDOS on my A2000 with a GVP 030/25MHz. It ran slow, but it was fast enough to use. I used PCTask version 2.03. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1, Mac System 7.1 and Windows 3.11 (in one old A2000)
My 1200 is stock, 2 Meg Chip RAM, no hard drive. Klondike AGA runs on my 1200 via Parnet, connected to my hard drive equipped 2000. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1 and Mac System 7.1
Steve I have had no success playing Klondike AGA on my 2000 equipped with Picasso II. It looks excellent on my 1200. 🙂 Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1 and Mac System 7.1
Bruce I believe you are correct. 500's and 2000's can generate the 31kHz signal with the ECS Denise and at least a 1 meg Agnus. This is productivity mode, 640 x 480, with a maximum of 4 colors on screen. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1 and Mac System 7.1
Hi Gary The tool type is: SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=scsi.device. For example, I just changed it to 'SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=gvpscsi.device' on my GVP powered 2000, and HDToolbox recognized by hard drive. By the way, the 1200 is working great. Jim Multitasking AmigaOS 3.1 and Mac System 7.1
Paul I am using GVP's IOextender. It has two serial ports and one parallel port. The control software that comes with it can be set up to 115,200 baud. I've never used that high a setting. It doesn't even work up a sweat operating my V.32bis modem. I have the…
Tom The emulator works (at least with the five games included in the archive). I ram it on a 2000 with '030, 10 Meg RAM and Workbench 3.1. It multitasks well with the Amiga side. It has five speed settings, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200% of a 1 MHz Apple II+.…
Hello I have no compatibility problems with my G-Force '030 and system 3.1. I had to set my hard drive's SCSI address to 0, and remove the jumper controlling the drive's power-up option. The system works perfectly now. Jim Cruising on AutoPilot
GVP Tech Thanks for the info. I removed jumper J302 and the drive cold boots. Jim Cruising on AutoPilot
Gayle I solved my problem. My system is a GVP combo 030 accelerator (28MHz; oops, how did that get in there? 🙂 ) w/o MMU and 9 meg of 32 bit RAM. I am using the onboard SCSI controller. I am using a 213 Meg Maxtor hard drive, which was…
Juan My version numbers are Kickstart 40.63, Workbench 40.42. Jim Cruising on AutoPilot
GVP Tech I cured the problem. I needed to change the hard drive's SCSI address from 6 to 0. Autoboot worked perfectly after the change. My old setup had no problem booting from the drive with address 6, so I never changed it. Jim Cruising on AutoPilot
Robert I have a 2000 with GVP '030 combo accelerator. When I installed the 3.1 ROM, the computer would no longer autoboot. I had to reset the SCSI address for the hard drive from 6 to 0. Then the machine booted fine. Jim Cruising on AutoPilot
#Workbench 3.1/GVP Combo
Message #87989
Do you know of any compatibility problems with GVP combo boards and Workbench 3.1? I have a 25 MHz combo board w/o MMU, 9 Meg of 32 bit RAM and '882. I was running system 2.04. I tried installing my Kickstart 3.1 ROM, and the system would no longer boot…
Steve The asl.library seemed to be causing the problem. I kept the suspect libraries and tested them singly. The version of asl.library that works is 37.27 (29.4.91). The version causing the trouble is 39.4 (18.8.92). I believe this second version is meant for Kickstart/Workbench 3. I am presently running 2.04.…
Bob Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I reinstalled my libraries from my system floppies, rebooted and the problem magically disappeared. Jim Belant Cruising on AutoPilot
Expert Services produces the Picasso II video card. I believe they are licensed to distribute 3.1. I don't have a Canadian contact, but the U.S. numbers are Voice 606-371-9690 FAX 606-282-5942 BBS 606-282-5943 I hope this helps. Jim — in manual on my Psion.
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't think it would be the power supply, because I have made no hardware additions for over one year. The problem just arose last night. Jim — on line with my Psion.
#2000 crash
Message #158751
I am having trouble with my 2000. It started when I attempted to install the latest version of MUI. At the end of the installation, I rebooted as requested by the install script Now my machine crashes when launching some software. For example, AutoPilot and Term crash, but Final Writer…
#3.1 fom Expert Services
Message #158749
I ordered 3.1 fom Expert Services about a month ago. I received my credit card bill yesterday and found I was charged on Aug. 1. I called Expert Services today and was told there was abilling error on the first hundred or so orders. It will be corrected in the…
Greg Your question is answered in the May issue of AmigaWorld. See the article on "Hidden AmigaDOS Gems" by Denny Atkin. The command to use is: RUN CMD PARALLEL RAM:PRINTOUT OPT m The 'm' must be lowercase. Jim
Chris I am running Quicken 6 using PC-Task. It works well, but PC-Task will not install Quicken on my Amiga. I installed it on my clone at work and transferred it to my Amiga with floppies. The main program is approximately 900 K, so you need to compress it (I…
Andrew I use both Quicken and TurboTax. I agree that TurboTax is very slow when accessing the hard drive. It took approximately one hour to install on my 2000 w/ 25 MHz '030. When running TurboTax I use a 2 Meg RAM cache for the hard drive. However, I find…
You're correct, sorry I forgot to mention it originally. PC-Task will not install Quicken (at least on my 2000). I had to install it on my clone at work and transfer it with floppies. I should warn you that the main file, Q.EXE is about 1 meg, so you need…
David I have been using Quicken v6.0 (DOS) for about 1.5 years. It works very well with PC-Task version 2.03. I bought this version from Dev-Ware. I've used Quicken under CGA, EGA and VGA emulation successfully. The entries operated in text mode, but the graphs will work in 640×350 16…
HDDRIVE yes or no!

My credit card is ready.
I have a 25 MHz GVP Combo II accelerator (68EC030) that I would like to upgrade. Can I just install a 33 MHz or 50 MHz 68030 w/MMU and a new clock, or are other mods required?

I have a program called amigrasp that will run some GRASP animations. Try searching for amigrasp.lzh using amigaff.
