-	Actually, GVP makes a completely unremarkable hard card.  If you want a
-GOOD one, then as of now you want the Microbotics HardFrame.  It even leaves
-the choice of the drive up to you, which is a MAJOR selling point, as far as
-I'm concerned.

I have heard of earlier problems with the HardFrame (must be placed
in a particular slot if you have this other card ...). How is the
current situation? I have a B2000 with the A2620 card and a total of
5MB memory (2meg 32-bit on the A2620). The GVP doesn't DMA which slows
things down, A2090A does DMA which slows things down... (if You  have
several bit-planes and overscan). Any GOOD solution? I am thinking of
a auto-boot controller and a 80-110 MB harddisk.
