3539.0. "GVP's Impact A500 Hard Drive" by RTPSWS::ZIMMERMAN (Whistlin' Dixie) Fri Mar 02 1990 01:12

    Has anyone had any experience or heard any rumors about GVP's
    Impact hard drive for the A500?  A'world gave it a pretty good
    revue.  It autoboots, has a 16KB data transfer buffer, can hold
    up to 4MB of expansion RAM, and has a SCSI connector for up to
    six additional devices.  Anyone heard any bad things about this
    system, other than that it hangs off of the left side of the
    A500?  If I were to call GVP, what questions would it be good to
    ask? 

    Thanks for the help,

    - Cliff

    I own a GVP Impact Hard disk on an A500, however it's already an
    'old' model. I have only 2Mb built into the controller. The drive
    I own is an 80Mb Quantum - real fast stuff. 
    Only 'unknown' factor is - I have some random 4 gurus sometimes
    - however not reproducable. Only within the controllers 2Mb and
    Memory test run. Newest A500 version with factory installed Big
    fatty..
    All in all I am fairly happy with it.
