I recently purchased a new Amiga 3000 to upgrade my A2500.  I have a
Syquest cartridge winchester which I connect through an old Commodore
2090 controller (NOT the 2090A).  I run it this way because the 2090
doesn't automount it's drives and I only use the Syquest for backup.  I
expected to be able to place the 2090 into the 3000 and continue to use
the Syquest/2090 combination as before...but apparently the 2090 won't
work in the 3000!  I HAVE put "hddisk" and "hddisk.info" into the
expansion drawer...and Binddrivers succeeds as long as the 2090 isn't
mounted in the 3000.  However...if the 2090 IS mounted, then the system
hangs on BindDrivers.  I have waited as much as 10 minutes to see if
it would time out...but it doesn't.  Is there *anything* I can do 
about this?  I've never been able to get the syquest to work properly
on the 2091 I have in the 2500...and it doesn't work connected to
the external SCSI port on the 3000 either so I'm stuck if I can't get
the 2090 to work!!
