Hi Amiganoids |

If I want to plug a SCSI-HD into my Amiga, what must I do ?
Well, I must buy the Hard-Drive itself, right. I also need a
SCSI-Controller (Host-adapter) : I have got a CBM-2090a.
What I need to know is: must I low-level-format the Drive,
or is PREP and FORMAT even enough ?
If not, how can I do it ?
Somebody told me I cannot prep/format such a drive with
interleave 1:1, if so:
      1) why not ?
      2) what means this (for performance) ?
      3) how can I do it (if this is neccesary for good perf.) ?

I want to buy either a NewberryData or IMPACT SCSI HD ( a great
one: 280-380MB ||) I have - ehem will have - room enough for it,
(tower, you know), but what must I do to use such a thing ?
I am currently using a Seagate MFM-Drive (41MB), but where are
the differents ( at the installation, the others I do know ;-) |)

Well, I need such a great one, because I am planning to upgrade
my Ami to U**x (Release-Date: 29.Feb.1991 ???), so if there are
any known difficulties with the 2090a, do I have to upgrade to
the 2091 also ? (I am NOT as rich as I can afford the System now,
but "Amiga, compatible to the Future |", isnt it ?)

Any Help would be very (,very) nice |
 Thanx in adv. , Walter.
