I am considering getting a Quantum 105 Meg drive for my A2500.
I curently have a 2090A with a Rodime ST506 40 Meg drive (internal).
I have a few questions....
1 - Can I hook the Quantum to the INTERNAL SCSI connector on the
2090A? If so, what sort of cable do I need?
2 - If I do hook up the Quantum to the internal connector, can I still
use my ST506 drive? Which one can/should I boot off of?
Thanks in advance!!!
