[comp.sys.amiga] A2090 disk hangs with access light illuminated

karl@sugar.uu.net (Karl Lehenbauer) (10/01/88)

A couple of times I have seen postings from people experiencing A2090-interfaced
hard drive hangs where the access light was stuck on.  I sent mail to them
asking for summaries and never got any.  I have a Seagate ST251.  I have tried
two 2090's and both had the problem.  Does anybody know what's going on?
