    A chip set to replace hddisk.device? How is this done? (and why?)
  Anyway, could you pass on addresses etc. or do you know if there is a
  North American distributor? Can 2090A owners get just the driver? Price?

    This sounds like what has been called the slot waster over here [an
 autoconfig card with roms to give the 2090 autoboot capability, sold by
 CBM]. From the sound of your description, the driver does not use
 SCSIDirect, yes?

    On the other claw, seeing as the Xetec CD-ROM is going to need their
 controller, the FastCard, does anybody know if this card supports
 SCSIDirect?
