Hi, I need some technical advice on how to get an external hard drive to work on my Amiga 1000. I'm a complete novice when it comes to hard drives. I've never installed one before, and I don't know the first thing about where to begin. My system is a s follows: Amiga 1000 w/512k chip ram; 5.5 meg fast ram (1.5 meg Spirit Inboard; GVP HC8 Series II SCSI Controller card w/ 4 meg ram– purchased used) 540 meg hard drive mounted on card Phoenix Expansion Chassis for A2000-type cards Workbench 1.3 Questions: 1. What do I need to do to get the drive going? I've been told I need a mountlist entry for the drive, but the 1.3 software doesn't have one. 2. I can't run the setup program on the GVP disk that came with the board. It just comes up with a message saying it can't find the GVPSCSI.DEVICE. There doesn't appear to be this file anywhere on the disk. 3. If I can solve the first problem, then how do I get the drive formatted, etc.? I realize that these are the questions of a novice; but I would really appreciate some basic guidance, if anyone could help. Thanks, Fred Giacobazzi
