I've decided that Commodore often makes pretty nice hardware, but ALWAYS accompanied by PATHETIC documentation! I'm struggling to understand certain aspects of my A2090 set-up. IE: Do all partitions need to have the same mountlist entries, save for the respective cylinders? If res2: (1st SCSI) is defined as having 5 buffers, does that go for dh2: too? Is there a difference between the buffers listed in the mountlist, and the buffers it asks for during prep? What is the "write pre-comp cylinder"? What does the "reserved" parameter mean? The example mountlist entry for SCSI drives shows a figure of "0", and the book indicates that the value should be "2". It seems the drive runs a little faster with "0" entered there…
