Hi I'm planning on buying an accelerator card of some sort. I've been considering the GVP 030/40/4 card. This card as I understand has a SCSI interface. Is this to say that it will not work with my A2000HD Rodime hard drive. I'm pretty sure that I do not have the SCSI interface. If it will not work, is there another accelerator I should consider purchasing? Is the GVP 030/40 a reasonable accelerator to purchase ? What about Vector ? CSA ? etc.? Thanks, Stuart

Stuart, What type of controller do you have in your A2000? Only the very early ones used anything but a SCSI card so far as I know. The early non-SCSI card was the 2090. It actually was able to do SCSI but was typically connected to a ST-506 HD which is not SCSI and is now pretty old/slow technology. Bill

Stuart, I have the Vector and can highly recommend it. However, if you already have a controller, you may want to consider one of the '040 accelerators which aren't that much more than the Vector or GVP 030/40/4 but don't include the controller. Steve
