Sorry for have upset you, My reliabel source happens to be 'Herr Dellert' chief of the European AMIGA Repair Center in Germany and the technical staff of GVP Germany… Why would they lei to me.??? If these people are not reliabel enough for you, you may forget what i said. BTW since I reworked my 3 Amiga's 3000 ( with GVP 040 ) they run 24 hrs a day in a network with no lockups… I am happy to here that your Amiga works fine, hope that Robert's machine wil soon work fine too….. 🙂 *** Ferrin Juan from Belgium with AUTOPILOT V1.8 ***

Oh, I'm not upset. The sucker who runs out and buys 3.1, thinking all his GVP problems will be solved might be, though…..}:^) GVP Gemany might be a reliable source, but I _rarely_ found the US tech support to be 'reliable'. And, I'm sure 3.1 fixes alot of system bugs, resulting in a reliable system. However, it has always been GVP's appearant policy to deny responsibility for any problems people have with their hardware. Glad your systems are working…. Even if it did cost a few hundred more than you'd thought, eh? ;^) Erik Flom

I have a 3000T with *all* the latest chips and 3.1 It will still crash from time to time. Reverting back to the 68030 is 100% reliable. I would say the GVP 040 is about 97% reliable. If I avoid certain programs, it is fine. Those programs do run on my 2000 with GVP 040 however (also WB 3.1). -Peter Motorollin' with G-Force 68040 on AutoPilot

Hi Peter! Could you list some of those programs. My GVP040 works great in A3000 with the original chips and 2.04 Roms most of the time. But as soon as I try and render some frames in Imagine2.0,3.0,etc.. and Lightwave3.5 or I copy alot of files at one time, it will eventually lock up and sometimes I have to Validate my hardrrive with DiskSalv3 or something.
