      I guess my last posting was I little rash... I still do feel that
   commodore is avoiding other netter's problems with the 2091. I
   would like to throw a few harmless little questions into the air.
 
                1. Commodore says that turning off reselection reduces
                   the problems of hanging to zero when using multiple hds.
                   Q: So why have people who have already done this
                      still experienced the same problem? Sounds like
                      their solution did not work...
 
                2. Commodore says that this problem exists only in the
                   newest 2091's that have a particular chip.
                   Q: So why (when I owned a 2090a a long time ago)
                      did I also experience the same problems.  It
                      sounds to me like the problem has been around
                      for a long time now.  Besides I know someone
                      who's 2091 is over a year old and suffers from
                      this same problem.
 
                3. Q: Commodore knows that a problem exists, so
                      why don't they offer to ship new controllers
                      (that do not have this problem) to those 2091
                      owners who have this problem. It was not the
                      purchaser's fault that there is a bug in some
                      2091's that doesn't allow them to use multiple
                      drives.
 
 
             I hope this posting is not offensive.. These were the
       ideas that were on my mind when I posted last...
