That sound exactly like a problem I had with trying to get another type of HD working with the 2090. If you can, look at the drive when you turn the computer on. Does it spin up when you power on the computer? If not…the problem is that SCSI line #40 is being held LOW by the 2090 and the drive won't reset. When you hit binddrivers, the drive will spin up then, but never reset it self (you won't see the the drive light come on). IF that is the problem, remove the wire attached to pin #40 on the header plug (don't cut it, just peel it back from the ribbon cable) and see if that makes your problem go awaY. Don
