What do you mean unit 0? Is this a GVP designation? As I recall, unit 0 and
unit 1 are reserved by the Amiga system as ST-506 devices. The first SCSI 
unit, is unit 2. I don't have a GVP board yet, but I was planning to upgrade
from my A2090 to one. I use a Centaur Auto boot card now to boot from my
hard disk. It's great, except it uses another slot.
