I recently purchased an overdrive hardrive controller for my A2000, I was
however dissapointed to find that it did not autoboot with ffs but only
with the old filesystem. i.e. it is necessary to create a boot partition
and then pass control to the ffs partition. My question is, can autoboot
roms from othr controllers be used e.g IVS or gvp? I notice that the
overdrive is actually made by IVS even though it is marketed by
pacific peripherals, so perhaps the rom from the trumpcard could be used?
