I have the GVP Series I card (8 Megs of sockets & SCSI controller) and just
installed the Series II FaaastROM chips into it- effectively making the
board a Series II (except I can't mount a drive on it- but then I have a 5
1/4'' hard drive anyway…)
It is nice having an extra slot free, and the board works without a hitch.
(The new ROMs can conflict with SetCPU if you have an 020 or 030- gotta
watch the settings.) It IS faster than before…and the new software
itself was worth the upgrade ($51 after shipping, tax, etc.) With an FFS
partition, BAD and the new ROMs, the drive moves real quick (Seagate 296N-
28 ms access 80 meg drive, with 2×40 meg partitions). I am going to play
with the interleave this weekend to find the optimal performance setting.
