My Amiga 2000 (which I bought used) came with a 2090 and a ST506 type 40MB hard drive and 1.2 roms. I bought a used 2090a thru the forum here and discovered it wouldn't work with the 1.2s. So I waited until 2.0 came out and upgraded to it. Unfortunately C= didn't think anyone would use anything so primitive as a 2090a and ST506 with their new machines so the HDSetup programs don't cover it. And the 2090a I got came out of a 2000HD and the instruction booklet isn't very technical. But I did finally get it prepped and formatted and running. And then I decided to set up an AMAX partition. I managed to establish the partition but never could get AMAX to recognize it. So I gave it up as a bad job and have lived with the 30MB AMIGA partition being too lazy to back it up and reformat. So, at an IBM type computer show I was looking at the $1/MB no warranty hard drives. I have bought a couple of these for friends and my church and they have worked. And there among the MFMs was a 20MB SCSI. So I decided it would be worth trying. But now I find my expertise stretched beyond reason. Can anyone tell me the appropriate mountlist, etc., entries for a 2090a with a SEAGATE 251 and a Miniscribe 8425SA? —–Paul—–
