Hi, I can attest to the proper operation of the GVP II SCSI+RAM board.  I
have had it running in my 2000 Rev. 4.3 machine with a Seagate 277N and Connor
CP-340 for months.  This weekend I swapped a Quantum 105 for the Connor.  
FaaastPrep has worked easily, flawlessly and solidly every time I have used it.
So far it has not Guru'ed or messed up one single bit on a drive.  In fact,
I just hooked up the power and SCSI cable to the Quantum and set it up 
without removing the Seagate temporarily (just to be extra careful)...of
course the power was off during this part...

Anyway, I can't recommend the GVP II enough!
