What company wrote the software drivers to make your GVP Series II work
in the A2000 for AmigaDOS? That's right, GVP.

So now, what company must write the software drivers to make your GVP
Series II work in the A2000 for Unix?  Aha, it's GVP.

There's nothing technically preventing Amiga Unix from supporting all
third party hard drives.  But it'll have to be the third parties that
make this happen.  Therefore you'r job is to convince GVP that they will
earn real dollars if they spend the effort to write Unix drivers for the
Series II.  And I wish you all the luck in the world...
