Anyway, I didn't even KNOW that the A2091 existed before last friday!! To make a long story short, I ended up walking out with a brand new A2091 for $299 (cheaper than the A2090 which is going for $325 if I recall!) and a GVP 68030 board.. Anyway, I must say that the A2091 is quite a card! The software is nice (HdToolBox program), but unfortunately either my Maxtor drive OR the software itself doesn't handle the bad blocks correctly (e-mail me if you want details! I won't waste space here!) To sum it up, Creative Computers sells the A2091 for $299 and they are pulled out of other machines -- they are NOT "new-in-box".. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Caution, 68k Assembly Language Programmer at Play! | | Support S.A.N.E.
