- Hmmm. I don't have an immediate answer for this. There are developer tools
- that can tell you this, but with 2.04 and up no longer having L:FastFileSystem,
- it isn't quite as easy as doing a "version L:FastFileSystem". On the other
- hand, if you still have an L:FastFileSystem, that would tell us something. :)
-
- The controller/drive probably came with a program for preparing the drives
- for use on the Amiga. It can tell you. Just don't select reformat! :)

- I can't tell you for sure -- but there is a good chance that it needs a ROM
- update. And yes, GVP does do ROM updates, at least on some of their products.
