- There are different jumpers as I recall near the bottom right corner to use
- if you want the HD LED to reflect accesses to the SCSI drive; you will not
- be able to hook up the supplied wires to both concurrently. The A2090
- controller allows concurrent ST506 drives and SCSI drives.

- I gotmy A2090 as soon as they were available; only after the warranty
- expired did I try to add a (SCSI) ST157N-1 to my (ST506) ST251 setup. I
- found the A2090 didn't have the horsepower on my early (Grman, rev 4.0)
- A2000 to handle it so I bought a Microbotics HardFrame.
-
- I am sure more recent controllers such as the A2090a from C= support use of
- autoboot FFS only partitions, assuming you have 2.04 or later ROMs.
