I've missed some of the discussion on this, so pardon me if this is
redundant.  Will the UNIX drivers for the Hard disk be specific to the A2090A,
and will they be reconfigurable without a lot of agony?  I'm considering
adding a hard drive to my 2000 now using a C-Ltd controller, and I'd
like to know that I won't have to replace it to add UNIX.  Also, will
the drivers support an AmigaDos partition, or be otherwise compatible
with AmigaDos files?
