I'm possibly looking for a new A2000 HD controller. I've got an autobooting
Kronos/2000 that doesn't boot. I haven't pulled the board yet to see if the
2000 itself is alright but it appears that the controller isn't letting the
machine even try to boot from dh0: or floppy. I get a dark screen and a few 
accesses to the hard drive (ST277N-1) but no access light on HD comes on. Same
thing happens with floppy. I'll gladly welcome help on this but what I'm really
looking for right now is opions on other controllers such as:

     1. A2091
     2. GVP SCSI + 8 (or other GVP)
     3. TrumpCard
     4. Microbotics HardFrame

Any problems that any of these have with the ST277N-1?
