I'm replying here by net-news rather than email since the question has
come up before & answers may be of general interest to the group.

I have the Pacific Peripherals OverDrive controller, and have had it 
for about 2 months now.  I am using it with a Seagate ST157N 
drive (48 Meg SCSI).  It has worked perfectly and so far I have been
delighted with it.  Having not seen any other controller &/or drive
in action, I can't say how it compares with other setups, although
I have had none of the problems that other people have been reporting
with the 2090 controller.  My only complaint is that it does not
autoboot; but I think that autobooting is not supported at all under
V1.2 of AmigaDos (correct me if I'm wrong);  I do not know if 
the hardware will allow autobooting once the OS is changed to support it.
