A friend needs some answers about the 2091 Hard Card. Any answers 
appreciated.
------------------------------------
     
     The problem is that I have three ST-506 HDs 2x40mb++ MFM and  
one 30mb RLL which of course will run at 20mb MFM. I would like to buy  
an Amiga A2000 and therefore need to get a HD card to run the HDs that  
I already have. I am told that the A2091 works out dearer if it is  
brought by itself and therefore the best value for money is to buy the  
Amiga A2000+A2091+40mb. 
 
 
     1)     I am presuming that the A2091 will come with a SCSI  
type HD. If this is so will I be able to run the other two or three  
ST-506 HDs off that same card. eg: One SCSI and three ST-506s.? 
 
 
     2)     If it is possible to do the above then how would the  
thing be set-up external or internal or both.? 
 
 
     3)     If some HDs are to be external will they need to have  
their own separate power supply.? 
 
 
     4)     Will the external drives have to have their own  
separate control card(s) or does the A2091 take care of all that.? 
 
 
     5)     How are you buying your A2091 with a HD.? If not and  
if its not a rude question what sort of price were you quoted.? 
 
 
     6)     I now see that there is an A2091A is that the same  
thing or is that something else.? 
 
 As I am buying one as well I am interested as well
Thanks to all
