- Wonderful, I am thinking of buying the 68020 accelerator for my Amiga just
- to speed up screen redraws and window displays. How does it do on these?
- Does the Amiga feel much faster? Is there a compatability problem? How
- does the beast connect?
-
- Anyway, as for your SCSI problem, it could be one of two things you need.
- If the SCSI port on the GVP is a 25 pin like a parrallel port, you just
- need a 25 pin to 25 pin SCSI cable, but that could not be it since the Zip
- comes with that cable, and you would not be posting this. Then it may be
- a small square SCSI port [ ]. In that case, you need an apple
- "Powerbook SCSI Adapter". Don't
- [ ] be deceived by the brand, It'll work w/ any type of Computer w/
- SCSI. Good luck.
