I have a GVP hardcard, purchased about 3 years ago, in my A2000. Lately, when I first try to boot up, I get an error message, saying the disk has a read error. When I power down and turn the computer back on, it boots properly. Anyone have any idea what I can do for this? Nick Moore, Findlay, (N.W.) Ohio

Nick, I presume you're having the problem during warm boot, but not during cold boot. My first *guess* would be simply a loose connection in the SCSI bus. Don

Actually, the problem does occur during cold boot-the first time I turn it on during the day. Now sometimes the bootup stalls during my startupsequence where the line is: "SYS:gvpscripts/tstGVPscsi ?" with the error message: "tstGVPscsi is not an object module" I power down and then back up after 30 seconds and it boots normally. I have used QuarterBack tools to check for disk errors and have found none. I will check to see that everything is connected firmly. Nick Moore, Findlay, (N.W.) Ohio
