I have this card and I never came across the "GVP screen". Can you
elaborate?

Get the latest software (if you don't have it already) from
http://www.gvp-m.com. It is best if you run Workbench with 64 or less
colors for the install and/or GVP prefs setting sessions because that
software won't work otherwise. Make sure that the gvpio file gets put in
the Expansion drawer on your SYS: partition. That should do it.
As for setting other prefs:
1. if you have a printer connected to GVP I/O board's parallel port you can
specify that in the new AOS 3.5 Printer prefs (gvppar.device unit 0)

2. for a modem hooked up to GVP I/O board's serial port you need to type in
Miami's Interface/Driver gadget gvpser.device, Unit 0 (or 1)
