If anyone can tell me how to configure an A2090 with a Quantum ProDrive 80s (80meg scsi) I'd appreciate it. I received the card with no manual. Mountlists, prep info, anything welcome. Thanks, Brett \exit

Brett, not to discourage you but maybe you should spend $50 and get a 2091 controller if at all possible. The 2090, although a good controller for it's day, was a BEAR to use when partitioning drives. I still have bad memories setting up the mountlist's and PREP'ing the partitions. And the 2090 wasn't autobooting either. With a better controller like the 2091, GVP Series-II, etc., you can have your drive partitioned and ready to go in minutes instead of hours. I wish I could be of more help in getting your Quantum up and running, but it's been too long since I used a 2090 and I don't want to dig the book out of the storage room. If you saw my storage room, you would understand <g>. // John – (Flying via AutoPilot) \X/ "Worf: To Hell with the Prime Directive – Give the Borg Windows!"
