[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with external drive/2090A combo

lcbrink@rodan.acs.syr.edu (Lee C Brink) (12/28/90)

  I have the following system:

	Amiga 2500/20 (No frills)
	External 50 Meg SCSI hard drive

  The SCSI drive has a cable that can plug into the back of the A2090A
on the 2500.  What I want to do is plug the drive into the 2090A card
and use the drive w/o formatting it, as it has files that I still want to use. 
The SCSI drive was used with a 1000 (no autoboot partition on the drive; just
an old file system partition and an FFS partition).
  I plugged it to the 2090A, and changed the mountlist so that the partition
names did not conflict with the partitions already configured on the 2500, but
it didn't work.  I could mount the partition, but when I tried to access it, 
DOS said that it couldn't find the volume.
  What can I be doing wrong, provided that it is possible to do.

    Lee
