I bought a 2000HD in March and a friend of mine bought a 590 to go with her
500 at about the same time. We both are getting very good use of our systems
but have run into a problem. My friend got ahold of a 20 meg SCSI drive and
power supply. We cannot get the 2091 or the 590 to recognize this drive. The
drive works fine on anouther friends 1000 using a Supra controller. When
asking around for help we were told by SEVERAL Amiga dealers that the Roms in
both the 2091 and 590 are not able to handle MORE THAN ONE SCSI DRIVE. Is this
true??? We were told that our machines would NOT be able to be repaired under
waranty with new roms, is this true??? If what we are hearing is true then we
are very angry!!! The ads for both the 2091 and 590 state that UP TO 7 SCSI
DRIVES may be daisy chained from the controller. If this does not work then
the required upgrade to do so should be done for free no matter when our
computers were bought as this is false advertising. If it is an innocent
mistake then Commodore should still fix it free as that was how our
controllers were advertised to work. If Commodore sees fit not to do this rom
change free then thier credibility is not good. This sounds like the old
Commodore that let ite cutomers do its hardware testing. I thought Commodore
was trying to change??? Please respond as both of us are unhappy with the
answeres we recieved. What is worse is that friend is a demonstrater of
Commodore cumputers at a local Navy Exchange and right now she can't recommend
any Amiga periferal with good contience. Hope you can shed some light on our
problem and that we have heard wrong!
