     Are you looking just to argue?  It seems your messages definitely are
slanted that way.
     If you're looking to argue "my system's better than your system", my
response to your response clearly shows how the Trumpcard is a superior
system.
     As long as we're correcting each other, you are wrong that the A590's
being sold now have an ST-506 drive.  They WERE old Epson st-506 drives
but now they are Western Digital 80ms 20 meg scsi's if the information I
received out of a magazine review is correct.
     If you were comparing your 20 meg scsi to the Trumpcard, you lose.
If you have the even older 20meg ST-506, you're an even bigger loser (w/
hard drives I mean, not you personally (let's hope this stays at the lowest
level of my system's better than yours" and not get any lower with personal
insults, eh?))
     So, boys and girls, as a recap, A590 is a 20meg 80 ms SCSI with 2 meg
of 256kx4 ram for about $900 plus tax?  The Trumpcard system I got is
a Trumpcard 500 with a !!!48 meg!!! !!!28ms!!!! drive, with 2 meg of 
!!!!80ns!!!!  !!!!SIMM!!!!!, w/ both being compatible with the A2000, let
alone the A500!!, along with a power supply with case for expansion (what
are you going to do with your A590 when you want to add another hard drive,
leave the drive outside, and powered with +5v of your imagination?) 
     Sorry, if you feel $100 bucks is not worth the extra space, speed,
expandability, and compatibility, then there's not much anybody can help you
with.
                              Flame on!
