The G-Force was an 040 accelerator + RAM (expen$ive GVP 64pin SIMMs) +
SCSI controller - I assume that the SCSI controller would have been the
same as that used in the HC+8 - they were around at the same time but I
think the G-Force was a newer item. I only ran it with 2.0.x, probably
.36, which would explain why I didn't have any problems. I'm afraid I
don't have an HD I can put in it now, to try a 2.2 kernel and I was
having problems with the FDs just before the video card failed. And
I'd have to periodically re-seat Agnus. Not a good system for s/w
testing.
Bye,
