No other boards, but problem solved! I think. 🙂 A few more minutes with GVP revealed that this particular hard disk controller was a very old model, known not to work with Rev 4 motherboards. (Oh yeah, I forgot, there are no differences between motherboards. Seriously, the problem was GVP's, they had about 1 volt of ringing between an address and a strobe line…) So I have a new controller coming tomorrow morning. Second half of the trouble was that the 2090A (new CBM) controller *requires* the 1.3 ROM to even work at all, so when I borrowed the friend's controller, it wouldn't work because I had 1.2 ROMs. Isn't this fun? I have a 1.3 ROM coming tomorrow, too, so I should be online RSN.
