Bob: Your problem with the A2091 and the 4070 SCSI-RLL sounds all to familiar. When I traded in my A1000 for the A2500/30, I was planning to keep my CLtd disks to hook up to the A2091. Like you I had an Okidata RLL drive (a 33 MB one, I don't know the number), hooked to the SCSI via an Adaptec 4070. I spent alot of time up here on CIS, and no one had any help. The only thing that anyone suggested was that the Adaptec didn't follow all of the SCSI standard (but I didn't think that anyone did…), and at the much higher rate that the 2091 goes it was missing some subset of the handshaking that was required. Anyway, some folks suggested that I replace the 4070 with the equivalent Omti board (I'm not sure of the number) which apparently is much newer and much faster. I eventually sold my drive and controller as a package to another A1000 owner. Now I'm desperate for more disk space. I hope you have better luck. I'm really curious, so if you do find a solution, please let me know. Steve (74375,1514)
