I have an Amiga 2000 with a GVP Series II controller loaded with 8M RAM, of which, only six is active due to that lovely restriction of commodore bridgeboards. The controller houses a Quantum 240 ProDrive. I used FastPrep to prep, format, and partition the drive (a real pain because of the paradoxical and poorly documented user interface). I connected an NEC external CDROM drive to the controller and, of course, it did not recognize it. I've tried several methods to mount it and even termination, although the drive has internal termination. Several device numbers were also used. Fastprep puts it on screen but as with just about everything else I've connected to the controller, it ghosts it out instead of mounting it. Any Suggestions?
