Dom –
I believe that the "Amiga 2500 Desktop Publishing Workstation"
configuration may pre-date the introduction of the 2091 disk controller.
Since I don't believe that CBM is selling this configuration anymore to the
general public, you may have received the latest version that that
particular package had when it was being actively marketed. Also, after
following this message thread, I'm not sure which one is the better
controller the 2090A (not to be confused with the 2090) or the 2091. The
2090A allows you to control both ST506 and SCSI drives, while the 2091
controls only SCSI drives. In addition, there do appear to be current
'bugs' in the 2091 – I've recently heard of difficulties in controlling
more than one drive. I have no personal experience with this aspect as I
only have one drive with my 2091.
