Thomas, I know that, but isn't a SCSI drive better than an IBM-type? The 2090A uses the ST-506 Rodime drive. A number of people have told me that a SCSI drive is much better than an ST-506 drive. Also, I heard the 2090A crashed often especially when used with overscan. I was also told the 2091 was much faster than the 2090A. Finally, the 2091 has room for 2 Megs of Ram, the hard drive can be mounted on the card itself, and it lists for the same price as the 2090A. Do you have any knowledge of the differences I mentioned above? If they are true, why would anyone want a 2090A instead of a 2091, since they both cost the same? Thanks, Dom Fontana
