Dave –
I think you're in a bit of a spot … I don't believe the 2090 works
with IDE drives, only "standard" MFM/ST506 interface drives. THe controller
on the GVP accellerator (assuming you mean the A3001) is an IDE controller.
So your drive would work with the GVP, but not the 2090. As an example,
Seagate's ST2xx series (not the 2xxR or 2xxN) would work with the 2090, as
would some other drives by other manufacturers (I just happen to know
Seagate pretty well …). I don't know of any IDE controllers for Amy, but
others might.
