[comp.sys.amiga] A2090 @-Drive Questions

DPOPE%AUDUCVAX.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (05/17/88)

I have been using a Seagate 225 ST506 drive connected to the 2090 HD
controller.  I am presently using a one-connector cable.  I recently
purchased a second ST506 drive and the two connector cable.  What changes
do I need to make to have both drives connected?  Thanks.

Quickly. Get a "standard" 2-drive connector.  Look in Computer Shopper for MANY
places where you can get one.  If you get the "twisted type", you'll need to
set BOTH drives a SELECT 1.  If you get a NON-twisted cable, the second drive
must be set with SELECT 2.
