Steve, I could use some help getting these new drives to work. They are in an external case with its own power supply. Unfortunately, I keep getting a controller failure. The controller is EMC's multi-function card. I closed position 1 on JP4 to enable the IDE controller. (BTW, I removed one of the jumpers on the IDE drives to make one of them the slave.) I had to get another ribbon cable since the one sent was too short. The red strip should be correctly positioned by pin 1. The 386 BB has 8 Meg. The Amiga 2000HD has a GVP G-Force 030 (25MHZ w MMU). Three banks are filled but mapped as extended to avoid BB conflict. There is a A2232 multi-serial card. and a GVP ram card with 4 Meg of 16-bit memory. The A2091 controller is maxed out with 16-bit memory. (If the G-Force weren't active, there would be a total of 7 Meg. The system still uses only 1 Meg for chip.) So 9 Meg is 32-bit. Thanks for your help! Sincerely, (Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless 'Perfessor Fearless' from the Rocket City! via AutoPilot 1.03a
