We were talking about problems about the 2091.  We were talking
about a hang problem with reselection on the 2091.  We were not
talking about the 2090a.  There is no such thing as a 2091a.

To repeat:  we were not talking about the 2090a.
The 2091 is a different controller.  It has different chips,
and different software.

And, we were talking about one of those.  Not a 2090a.

Understand now ?

I'd resent your rude header more if you had actually read and understood
the posting.  It's still uncalled for, however.
