I have an ESDI to SCSI adapter but have not had good luck with it running
with my A2090 or A2090A controllers. I have heard rumors about bugs in the
Commodore HDDISK driver and I know that it wont operate a SCSI tape drive.
Apparently, the SCSI disk startup sequence does not do enough (perhaps a
MODE SENSE or MODE SELECT, not sure) to properly start up the drive. I am
thinking of purchasing yet another SCSI controller but I need some more
assurances since I am getting tired of the "buy-before-you-try" technique.
If you know about other controllers, any info would be greatly
appreciated.
