Kelly, to pick up on an EMail thread (material might be interesting to others):
1. This limitation on the 2090A, that drives can be no larger than 270MB
(unless the EPROM chip is pulled, etc.) … is that for the ST drive only, or
does it apply to any SCSI drives that are added, too?
2. The need to PREP the SCSI drives before using them. Yes, I see that in
the manual you sent (thanks again).
But do I understand from your message that you can't PREP the SCSI
drives without removing the EPROM? Or were you taking out the EPROM
so as to allow you to format a higher capacity SCSI? In which case,
sounds as if it didn't work, since the formatting didn't run to
completion.
I look forward with great interest in your reports as to how all
this goes. There's every chance that I'll be following your path.
I'll be interested to hear how your planned 2091 upgrade fares.
