#GVP Drives?
Ethan,
I checked my manual and it says:
"All the GVP IMPACT SCSI Controllers provide separate SCSI connectors, namely
the 50-pin internal SCSI connector and the 25-pin external SCSI connector."
I would be _very_ careful before assuming that the hardcard version will fit
into the SubSystem 500 case. Even though the card will fit, the drive has an
overhang to it and it may be too high to fit into the case. You might consider
getting the controller card/autoboot rom/2 meg fast ram card instead. Again,
I'd check dimensions very carefully, but, you might be able to install a small
3-1/2" 20 meg drive (as opposed to a big 3-1/2" 20 meg drive 8) into the 3-1/2"
drive bay in the SubSystem 500. (I don't have one so I can't help you there –
I've got the Impact A500 that has its own case and mounts on the left side of
the computer.)
One thing I do know for certain – you will really enjoy having a hard drive on
the Amiga.
