- Ya, I never had any Luck with my A1291 SCSI controler either, I could copy
- files back and forth OK. and some programs I could get to run, others would
- cause Shapeshifter to CRASH on me, Of course I couldn't BOOTUP on it either.
- DEVICEFILES were OK though! DEVICEDISKS, Forget it! I bought a larger IDE
- drive so I could run Shapeshifter on that, works Prefect. SO the CD-ROM
- doesn't work either? That Sucks, How about a Tape Drive? I have one that I
- havn't tryed yet. I was thinking about Escoms new A1200 CD-ROM thing for the
- A1200's, maybe I'll get that!?!?! Then again, I'm thinking Tower for the
- A1200 Also, so maybe not. I wish though that they'd get SS to work with the
- GVP A1291 Cards. Would could the problem posibley be? Some Screwy GVP thing?
