Hi all...
I've got an Amiga 2000 computer. I've got a harddrive controller installed
in the amiga 2000 computer that I unfortunately cannot identify. As such, I
cannot figure out what/where to download the necessary software so that I
can format the hard drive. Here are 2 very BAD pictures of the harddrive --
I accidently took the photo to close, but hopefully this will help a little
bit:

Although you cannot quite read it in the photos, the harddrive card says:
"Hard Disk Controller GX B-v0 8804"
Does anybody know where I can download the necessary software so I can
format the drive?? Right now, it is clear to me that when I first turn on
the computer, it is attempting to load from the harddrive. After a few
seconds, it gives up and loads from the floppy drive. When I get to the
desktop screen, it does NOT show the harddrive. I suspect this is becasue
the drive is not formatter yet.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how to format the drive if the
computer does not 'see' it on the desktop.
ANY HELP WOULD BE ENORMOUSLY APPRECIATED.
