	I believe I am having problems with my 2090 controller. I have
	a ST-251 disk (non-SCSI) that I have been using for over a year.
	Just recently I am trying to recover from file system problems.
	I am trying to format the disk (FFS) and I keep getting guru'd
	before the format completes. The Guru is typically a 3 or a 4
	(addressing or memory error) and is inconsistent.

	Also, the one time I did get thru the format and tried to do a restore
	from backup floppies (Quarterback) I repeatedly get Guru'd before
	the restore completes (also incosistent).

	Any advice?? Upgrade to the 2090A controller??

					Thanks in advance,
