greetings… I have an old GVP A2000HC series 1 controller and need to get the low level software so I can upgrade to a larger that 40 meg disk. Also the 40 meg is having some problems, source unknown. Any help would be great. A local store gave it a good shot , but no luck. cwm

Wayne, Sorry…I'm not a GVP Tech person, just someone who occasionally tries to help. SCSI disks don't usually need (or like,sometimes) low level formats. With SCSI, regular Amiga formatting is usually all that's required. However, you will probably need either GVP's or public domain prep software, which allows your system to recognize the disk and allow partitioning before DOS formatting. You might want to re-post your note to GVP tECH or SYSOP in this section. Gary on AutoPilot from Charlotte, NC

greetings…. hopefully you have access to GVP. I really need to get some low level software so that I can upgrade this 40 meg HD which is using an old A2000HC controller , maybe series 1.

I'm sorry Wayne, but I don't exactly understand your problem. What does formatting software have to do with upgrading your hard drive? What's wrong with it that you feel you need to low level format? Explain in more detail, please. Gary on AutoPilot from Charlotte, NC
