Darren, In part, I don't think you know what you are talking about! The 2000HD and the 2500 come with ST-506 drives, not SCSI. With the 2090A and ST-506 drives, there is NO contention problem. From other reports I heard on here, the hard drive CBM supplies with these machines is of pretty good quality, with pretty nice specs. Why don't you check with CBM and ask when they are going to start using the 2091 controller instead of the 2090A? When these machines start to come with this controller, there will be no contention problems with SCSI drives at all – and will have a low cost way of adding additional ram to the system at the same time. You say the kronos is easy to install – why don't you go and look at the messages in AmigaVend under the CLtd section. From those messages, setting up a kronos must be like dealing with a "bastard son". I have a 2090A here, and a 70Meg miniscribe ST-506 HD. I installed it by myself, had no problems except for a lack of documentation from Miniscribe. And I never installed a HD before. 73, Kelly
