Anyone have any ideas on why a GVP 4008+ Scsi controler works fine in an A2000 rev 6.2, but has many problems in a rev 4.4? 4.4 machine will boot, WB2 will come up, but when I try to open any windows the machine locks up and drive light stays on. 4.4 does as long as extra RAM is in machine. If I take out the extra RAM machine wil not boot. If I use a DataFler Card in the 4.4 it works fine, but I need the GVP for it's DMA ablities. HELP! John

John, My memory is that one of the older A2000 motherboards (I forget which one) had problems with the bus driver circuitry. There was a fairly simple fix…unfortunately I forget which rev and the fix…but hopefuly one of the other members will recall it. Don
