Here is a description of exactly what I have/what I'm doing.  If you could
possibly tell me what software I need and/or where I can get it so I can
begin using the harddrive, I would be enormously appreciative.  Here goes...

One of the only other disks I have that came with the computer is a disk
labeled "Amiga 2090A Hard Disk Software."  So this is what I do:

1.  I put workbench 1.2 in the drive and turn on the computer.  It then gets
me to the desktop screen.
2.  I put the Amiga 2090A hard disk software in the drive and click on the
"HDInstall" Icon.  I then click on the Install program.
3.  The computer says, "Setting up for first ..." and then it begins copying
various files.
4.  The computer asks me if I want to continue since it will delete
everything on the harddrive."  I typed in yes.
5.  The computer says "checking your mountlist" and copies more files
6.  The computer days "Mounting hard disk and initializing."
7.  The computer asks me if this is a SCSI hard disk.  (I don't know -- so I
have tried typing both yes and no, but I get the same result -- please see
#8 below for what happens)
8.  The computer says "Error -1 on open device of hddisk.device."

Accordingly, if you can suggest how the heck I can get the harddrive to work
and/or where I can get the necessary software from, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
tell me.

Thank you enormously in advance for your time/assistance.
