Darrell: It's funny, I was in almost the exact same situation three weeks ago: I had a Commodore 2090a controller, Rodime 44 Meg MFM drive (stock 2500), and had a removable drive (Bernoulli) that I needed the GVP series II to run. I called GVP. They said "Yes, they'll coexist." I ordered the GVP II, installed it, and YES! — Everything worked! Here's where my story diverges from what you say you want: I also ordered a Maxtor 96 Meg drive for $299 from IME 1-800-999-1911. I connected that to the GVP and transferred everything from the old Rodime/2090a to the big (and quieter!) Maxtor SCSI drive. Then I took out the 2090a, took out the 44 Meg drive, and SOLD it to some poor soul with an Amiga 2000. I put an ad in "Computer Currents", a local (Bay Area) free computer mag, and sold it the day after the ad came out. My advice is: buy a new hard drive, and sell your old HD/Controller. Check out new hard drive prices! They're mighty tempting! And someone on a budget would love your 2090a/HD combo (sell for, say $150 or $175) Check it out! – Roger
