I have a problem I need help on.  I have a 2000 with a GVP G-Force 030
accelerator running at 40 Mhz with MMU and with 12 megs 32 bit fast ram
and a 200 meg HD on the GForce.  I also have a 2091 SCSI card with a 50
meg HD.  I just bought the Picasso II and installed it and the software
on the HD.  Well when I re-boot I get a message saying it can't open a
certain library.  It is in the Libs drawer, but it won't open it and I
can't access the Picasso II screen modes.

Well I took the jumper J12 off on the GForce making all 12 megs Extended
memory, and now the Picasso II works.  I can use all the screen modes
that the Picasso II offers, but now I can't access the HD on the 2091 or
the external ZIP drive on the external SCSI port of the 2091.  I moved
the ZIP drive to the external SCSI on the GForce, but I would like to
know if there is anything I can do to get access to the 2091 again.  If I
put the jumper back on, I get the 2091 back but lose the Picasso II.  I
thing the rom on the 2091 is 6.1 but not exactly sure, I know the first
number is 6, but not sure about the .1.

Can anyone help me?  I know I can hook the 50 meg to the GForce, but I
always get errors downloading to a HD on the GVP GForce and not to the HD
on the 2091.  That is the main reason I have kept the 2091 plugged in.

Thanks for any help you can give me.  Reply here or EMail me at
[e-mail] and I'll get back to you.

Michael.
