Leonard,
I get the impression that you have another controller in your system.
If your harddrive works with it, then I suggest using that controller.
The same suggestion to switch the harddrive from the A2091 to the G-Force
030 was also made to me. I ignored it because it 'wasn't broke' the way
it is now. (And I'm basically lazy with other things to do,too.)
Eventually, a used and bigger drive went on the G-Force, but the system is
still configured to boot from the A2091 drive since I could, if I wished,
use the GVP utility GvpCpuCtrl to boot the system without the accelerator
and its drive active. In other words, I can boot it into the 68000 mode
should I happen across a program that can be used from a nonbooting
diskette and doesn't understand '030 and its MMU. (I bought the G-Force
030 with an MMU.)
The earlier GVP 3001 accelerator can't be mapped around the BB memory.
Steven D. Kapplin 70055,1021 can verify that! I'm not familiar with the
COMBO. Is it the old name for the G-Force? If so, then you want its
memory to be extended.
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
