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. Steve
