Okay, I am still having trouble:

  setup:
A2000
A2620
A2090a
Rodime SCSI HD
AmigaDOS 1.3

Symptoms: I plugged in my brand new A2620.  Life went downhill.

          Disk crashing (errors upon validation, Read/Write errors).  I
	  seriously doubt the disk is at fault (for a number of reasons) .  The
	  boot partition (non FFS) mounts and has not yet given me trouble.  As
	  soon as I mount another partition, the world goes to hell.  Lots of
	  gurus.  No, I didn't write the number down - I will, though.

          I have also noticed the parallel port *may* not be working.

          No floppy trouble.

Query:    Is it possible I trashed the chip which drive the parallel port?  I
 	  don't have schematics at work, but it just occured to me - does the
  	  same chip control disk i/o?

          The 2620 is brand new - are there any validation programs available?
