Now the way I understand this discussion is that the "standard" Amiga Hard
drive controller, the A2090, will not autoboot when this feature becomes 
available?  For CBM to obsolete their own hardware is pretty ridiculous
and I find it hard to believe.

Could we have one of the techies at CBM answer this question:

	Will the A2090 allow Autoboot?

Considering I have an A2090 and a 40meg Miniscribe on it's way to me later
this week ($655, not a bad deal) I have a vested interest in the answer.
