Hep me!

 I recently upgraded my 1000 to a 2000 and in the process bought a GVP
scsi controller with 2/8 megs populated. I am using this with a Conner
CP-340 , 40 Meg hard drive. I seem to be getting a lot of software
failures on disk-writes. I get gurus copying files using both amigados
and ARP cp commands, while un-zooing archives, basically any time
there's hd write access!! This tends to make the affected partition un-
validatable upon reboot and forces me to re-format. Frequently (read:
two out of three tries) I get a software failure while formatting a hard
drive partition!! If anyone is aware of some incompatibilites between
these two products, please let me know....
