->The open letter, was posted to see if there were anyother people who wanted to vent their opinions concerning GVP. Okay, here is my opinion: I think GVP is doing the best they can in a failing market. Am I happy about their current form of support? No. Is it better than no support at all? Absolutely! I have had a few problems that may or may not have been related to GVP equipment. I left messages for the Tech and he gave me suggestions and things to try until the problem was localized to a specific piece of equipment. (It turned out not to be a problem with the GVP equipment.) I have also asked some general questions not specific to their product which the Tech has answered. GVP has been good to me and if it means going through dimished support until the Amiga market (HOPEFULLY) gets back on its feet, then so be it. ->As for the 8MG barrier, my 2000 supports 2MB Chip RAM and 8MB Fast RAM (lets see, my math says that is a total of 10MB RAM … not just 8) For the record, a stock Amiga 2000 with 68000 chip can max out of RAM as two configurations: 512k chip, 512k "slow", and 8MB fast (older A2000's) or 1MB chip and 8MB fast The fact that you have a modification (the DKB board) allows you to have 2 MB of chip RAM. The "8MB limit" is a reference to the limit of 16-bit fast RAM allowed by 68000 and 68010 cpu's. This "fast RAM barrier" can be broken by installing a 68020 or greater cpu and 32-bit RAM. GVP's Combo board does the job quite well. Personally, I resisted going to a 68030 processor as long as possible. I figured the money wasn't worth the speed. After I finally sprung for a 030 I found that everything, except some games, worked SO much better that I'd NEVER go back to a slower processor. It is much like going from floppies to a hard drive.
