I have borrowed an A2620 card from an Amiga 2500 to try in my 2000 which has a bridgeboard, the 2058 RAM, and an GVP HC-80 hard card. It really screams in its normal 68020/68881 operating mode BUT… When I do the "Three Fingered Salute" it does NOT give the selection screen for 68000/68020/68020 UX! It just sits there flashing the power LED until I release the mouse buttons. Then it tries to boot and crashes (Software Error 2.00C01570). If I remove the GVP HC80 hard card (with auto boot) and use a WorkBence 1.3 3.5" disk for the system, After I reboot I get the selection screen and everything works just fine. Does anyone know what the GVP hard disk with auto-boot could be doing to cause this situation? Any guesses or ideas as to what I could try? Its obvious that I can't get in touch with GVP this weekend.

Yes, it's the GVP. It's a known problem to them and should be fixed shortly.

I know that the GVP HC 80 will *NOT* work with the 68000 mode in the A2500… the compyuter won't let you boot in that mode… GVP realised that 2 or 3 weeks ago… a fix and probably new drivers are coming…
