Put the terminators back in.

This will switch a GVP '030 to 68000 mode.

Certain GVP-specific SCSI control options, some of them are
for debugging only; make sure you have driver version 3.10
(or later) or you might crash! Official options include:

- Run >NIL: GvpScsiCtrl ICDCache ;AdSpeed and Series-II.

- GvpScsiCtrl -m ;mounts all partitions on all devices
                 ;recognized.

- GvpScsiCtrl -r ;re-scans the SCSI bus for slow devices
                 ;that didn't respond fast enough at
                 ;power-up time. This includes -m.

- Run >NIL: GvpScsiCtrl -s ;same as -m, but waits until all
                           ;removable-media units have been
                           ;mounted.

As usual: See GVP Technical Bulletin #10 for details. :-)

Dunno. Appears to be non-destructive. :-)

Re-assigns all of your system assignments (SYS, C, DEVS,
FONTS, L, LIBS, S) at the same time. Used by
S:floppy.sequence.

Haven't tried it yet.
