Set the drive to SCSI-ID 0 and set the "last disk" bit in the GVP Faaastprep. It makes the controller stop the disk scan to that disk. You just have to remember to undo the change when you add drives (or make the old drive the last ID). I vaguely remember having 1.98g. Yep. That's it. I'll put it up for download. Temporarily available at http://www.cs.tut.fi/~albert/Fastprep198g.dms I am not totally certain, but you CAN use Commodore's HDToolBox also. Note that if the Last Disk bit is set, the GVP controller won't find the extra drives at all, but e.g. A3000 controller will. GVP needs a reboot after resetting the last disk bit. I also have a GVP bootdisk, which is used for a 1.2 machine. (Boot from floppy, add HD's, then continue boot from there.) -Pasi -- "Commander, we've just finished a security scan.
