I am trying to connect a new Fujitsu drive (1.2 Gig) to my AMIGA 2500.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has done this.  When I power
up with the 2091 Installation Software in the floppy drive, the system
locks up.  I have checked that the cables are correctly aligned and that
the new drives address does not conflict with the internal quantum drive.
A puzzling thing is that the AMIGA freezes even when the cable is not
connected to the new external drive, but only to the 2091!  Is this to
be expected, or might there be a short in the cable?  There are a number of
jumpers on the drive that can be removed to change various characteristic,
synchronous mode to asynchronous mode, cut down max transfer rate, etc. and
I would be very happy not to try all the combinations if someone knows what
works.  Thanks very much.
