I can't help you on the 2091 thing, but I can tell you that I have run Adaptec
4000, 4000A, and 400 on the 2090 and 2090A. They allow two disk drives per
controller, but not with the 2090, which doesn't know about any LUNs besides 0.
They have fixed tis particular problem in the 2091.

Thanks for all the responses to my Partion question. The answer is the max
partition size is about 53Meg under the OldFileSystem and 2.4 Gb under the
FastFileSystem.

Now for the question. Has anybody successfully used the Adaptec 4000,
4000A, or 5500 SCSI to ST506/412 adaptors with the A2091? I have both a
Micropolis 80MB and a Maxtor 190MB drive I would like to use. According to
what I read, you can hook two drives to the 4000A and four drives to the
5500.
