Any opinions on other SCSI controllers for the A500? Well, the A590 has the A590 controller. It's functionally equivalent to the 2091. There is no problem with overscan. It does have an interface that the 2091 does not have, but it is not ST506; it is IDE (or whatever the IBMers call their kludge). -larry -- It is not possible to both understand and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
