English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Another new A500 accelerator option HC533

I have a GVP 030 accelerator/SCSI/memory card in the A2000 and was thinking of simplifying things by using this instead. My SCSI hard drives are old and loud and probably on their last legs and all I read about are issues with configuring SCSI2SD. I don't want to kill my Zoro slots on the A2000 though and decided to use the HC533 accelerator in my A500.

It showed my CF in WB 1.3 but I didn't want to mess with multiple 1gb partitions and jumper settings on the accelerator.

Vast improvement in speed:

I swapped ROM to 3.1 and it booted right up with the CF card.

So far compatibility has been very good and with 3.1 its as close to plug and play as you can get.
