Hi, I have an A2000 with GVP's 3001 accelerator and SCSI controller
hooked up to a SyQuest removable drive system.

At work we are running from an A2500 with the same Syquest drive using
Commodore's A2091 (although I suspect we really have the A2090).  The
problem is I can't format disks using the GVP program that is readable
by the A2500.  I can however format disks on the A2500 and have them
readable on my A2000.

Also sometimes I experience a freeze of the machine when I'm copying a
large # of files from the Syquest to the internal drive on the A2500.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	That sounds like a difference in the implementations of the
RigidDiskBlock spec.  I'll try to track down what it is with GVP.

	Make sure you have reselection turned off when you set up (HDToolBox)
the disks.  See the articles I've published here before.  When the ROMs
are available you'll want to upgrade the 2091.
