- I ran my A2500 for over seven months using both a GVP Series II
- [200Mb SCSI] and a 2090A controller with two ST506 HD's on it.
- The only problem I think I had was overloading the power supply
- by running three HD's and five expansion cards [including 68030
- accellerator card]. When I disabled one of the ST506 drives that
- was giving me some problems, everything worked fine.

- Using GVP's FAAAAAAAASTprep, change the BOOT PRIORITY on your
- SCSI drive to be more than the boot priority on the 2090a drive.
-
- I did this and my machine booted great from the SCSI board. And
- when I pulled the SCSI board out to put it in my A4000, the 2090a
- drive booted fine.
-
- Should be a piece of cake.
