	I'm hoping that someone from Commodore can answer this one for me...

	I have the A2090A controller and a Rodime 40M harddrive from my old
A2500/20. I was told that to put it in my A3000, I'd just have to pull the
autoboot ROMS and hook it up to the card normally.

	Now, to the best of my knowledge, this would work great except for one
extremely annoying problem. It seems that there isn't a second power connection
for the harddrive to be attached to. (There's one for the drive that's already
in there of the correct shape, but the only other thing that looks like a power
line in their is from the disk drive and that's the wrong size and shape 
connector). I'd really like to use this drive if I could without having to
go out and get another.

	Well, guys, what am I to do? Is that power cable coming out of the
drive suitable for running the harddisk if I make (or buy) an adapter cable?
Please e-mail me, as I sometimes have a hard time keeping up with all the
news....
