	The current beta release of System V r4.0
	supports 2090a's and 2091's, but the 2090a
	implementation has problems. Several machines
	I've seen never make it all the way thru
	the boot sequence on that controller, but
	when configured with 2091's, work fine.

	I assume this'll be fixed in the next beta...
