Hi. I have 2 questions regarding the 2091 controller. (my 2000HD came with
a 2091, but _no_ documentation for it!) *ANY* help whatsoever will be
greatly appreciated.
1) In 2 days I'll have a second hard drive (Quantum 105 Prodrive) to add
to my 2091 (my original drive is in one of the 3.5" bays, and I'll be
putting the new drive on the 2091 itself). My questions is: do I
have to run a cable from the outside of the Amiga to the second drive
or can I daisy-chain the two drives within the Amiga itself??? If so,
how do I daisy-chain them?? (the 2091 only has one place for a 50 pin
ribbon cable ... do I need some sort of pass-through cable adapter???)
If not, do I just need a standard 25-50 pin cable??? Please excuse my
ignorance if this question seem naive to you.
2) It was pointed out to me that several months ago there was some
discussion in c.s.a.h that the 2091 might have some problem handling
more than 1 drive. Could somebody please summarize the main points
of this discussion for me. If it's any help, the ROMs on my 2091
read V5.92.
Thanks for your time.
Sean.
