Phil,
I have the Konica on my system, but use a CLtd Kronos controller. I
don't know if the A2090 is a SCSI controller nor how many drives it will
support. The Konica is a SCSI drive and as such only needs to be daisy
chained on the 50 pin ribbon buss. You must be sure that only the LAST
drive in the chain has a terminator. The Konica's terminating resistor
pack is on the side of the drive. If it is the last drive, then you can
leave the terminator pack installed, but be sure you remove any terminator
pack in the earlier drive(s). The Konica will require a DiskChange command
because it is removable media. You will also need the special floppy disks
from Konica, you can order them through Abel Supply at $19.47 each. The
diskettes will need to be formatted first low-level then with AmigaDos
Format to put FFS on it. You will also need a mountlist entry for it. It
does work with Quarterback. If you need any help let me know. First and
foremost, however, you need to determine if the A2090 is a SCSI controller
and if it supports more than one drive. Oh, you will also have to set the
device id for the Konica to something other than 0, because your hard drive
probably is set to 0. If you need direct help my number is 813-985-5611.
