The problem of the GVP controllers witj external devices usually results due to missing termination power ot the GVP controller. This can easily be solved: 1. Simple solution: The (last) external device must be internally terminated and must provide its own termination power. Disadvantage: If you switch off this device (e.g. CD-Rom), your machine will likely hang. 2. Better solution: Provide termination power. Can be done by soldering a (shottky) diode on the GVP board. Disadvantage: You must solder. Oliver Kastl Elaborate Bytes AlfaData R&D
