Yesterday I repaired an A2630 (rev 9) and it seems to works okay except
when my GVP Series I HD setup is plugged in. With the HD plugged in it
would no longer boot. On further investigation I discovered if I disable
the ram and the GVP card, the system would work fine again (The GVP card
is an old Series I with rev 1.0 roms and sockets for 2 meg of SIMMS).

Now, the million dollar question is..... has anybody had similar
experiences with A2630 <-> GVP setups, or is there something still wrong
with the A2630.

Any hints on repairing A2630's would be appreciated as I still have 4
more to fix :-), I have the schematics but no test gear :-(

Thanks in advance
