By now I know that the A590 and the 2091 are logically identical apart from
the "XT-interface" in the A590. But what is it? Is it ST506 or ESDI?
Or even EDI(?) as I've seen some people call it.
I need to know, 'cause I would like to buy a larger (preferrably cheap)
drive to replace the 20MB Epson in my A590. (I find large SCSI:s too
expensive :-(

I know all about the differences between ESDI, ST506 and SCSI and the
different types of ST506: MFM, RLL, ARRL and so on, I just need to know
which type the "XT-drive" in the A590 is!

Also, is it "half-height"? My *guess* is that it's half-height, ESDI, 3.5".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Michael
