I recently bought a used GVP 030 50Mhz Combo board with a 425 Quantum.
Ever since I installed it in my A2000 (with a KickBack ROM switch (by ICD)
board, running 2.04 and a switch for 1.3) and 2 floppies. I have had trouble using the DF1: drive. SID 2 says the drive is not mounted. And when I try Mount
it says I am missing the definition in the MountList. But the Mountlist has no
flopy definition. Am I missing something obvious or is it the fault of card?
Actaully, I have had DF1: work once, and when I booted in 68000 mode
and Ran Shadow Of The Beast (I actually bought it eh? Cool game) 3 it seemed to use the Df1: drive. Help me please, I like using 2 floppies.
