     A Question for the Net:
 
     At the computer store where I now work, we are trying to put a system
together for a customer.  This system includes a Bridgeboard, HardCard
on the IBM side, an A2090 on the Amiga side, extra drive, and an external
SCSI drive on the A2090.  We are trying to use a Hyperdrive, which is
a Macintosh SE SCSI-compatable external hard drive that uses a 
Seagate ST251N drive internally.  We have the Hyperdrive set as 
SCSI device one, and we have out Mountlists set with the Unit parameter
= 3, which according to the manual references the first device on the
external Mac SCSI bus.  When we try to PREP the drive, the Amiga locks
up solidly, and the drive sits idle.  The drive is correctly terminated,
and the drive itself is tested and known to work on a Macintosh.
The DB-25 connector on the back of the A2090 is supposed to be MAC
SCSI compatable, so does anyone out there know what's going wrong?
 
Any help on this would be appreciated!  We'd like to get the system out
Monday for the gentleman.
 
John
