I've come across what I believe is the bare Konica 10MB floppy drive that Supra and C-Ltd use/used in their 10MB removable SCSI drives. Does anyone out there know if there is anything particularly troublesome in implementing this drive with the A2090 interface? Is it simply a matter of making a mountlist with the proper SCSI device #, sectors, tracks, etc.? The A2090 requires a small Old File System partition when used for FFS- can I do this with this drive? My Quarterback version 2.0 claims it supports the Konica drive, but gives no particular instructions for using it. Do I have to issue a DiskChange command when changing disks? Just wondering if I get this thing, am I getting myself into a can of worms, or am I going to be able to just treat it like another SCSI device. I was lucky enough to have your sage advice about the 3M SCSI streaming tape device that wouldn't work without a custom driver. Is this a similiar situation? + Phil +
