- It is a reliable controller. The biggest sticking point on GVP's
- SCSI controllers is that with older rev ROMs they don't behave well
- with removable media and some hard drives and tape drives.
-
- Note that GVP ROMs are numbered like so: 4.1, 4.5, 4.12, 4.13 etc...
- so that 4.13 is LATER than 4.5.
-
- Anything from 4.5 on is pretty stable, IMHO, and the performance is
- very fast to lower memory, and acceptable with high memory. Also,
- being able to hold 8 Megs of RAM is kind of nice.
