     We are an equal opportunity drive employer here at Commodore with the
     A2090, ST-506 or SCSI drives should work equally well.  ST-506 drives
     tend to be fairly cheap because they are used extensively in PC's.
     However, SCSI drives can be faster, depending on the drive, than
     ST-506, but, these will tend to cost more.  Certain drives, both ST-506
     and SCSI, have been thoroughly tested for use with the A2090, these are
     indicated at the front of the A2090 user's guide.  If you have a specific
     question about a certain manufacturer or drive, send me email. I will
     answer you (I prrromise).
