Info about 2090:
2090:
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/a2090.html

2090A:
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/a2090.html

Things to check:
- that the hd is properly terminated.  2090A is a SCSI controller.
- size of the SCSI hard disk you are using. (is it ULTRA 2?)
anything larger than 1 gig might give u problems with the vintage C= software
(might not cover larger than 1 gb hd capacities)
- the scsi cable? (maybe its at fault?)
- the jumpers on the controller must be set correctly (see the two links above)

Concerns:
- even if you get it to work, why would u want to stick to 2090A or 2090?  2091
is way better and much better - i'm sure others might agree with me on this.
- for installation the 2090 or 2090a floppy disk should do the trick
- the controller is perhaps busted? (before you do anything await others help or
input on this)

Drivers (software for the controller):
http://www.amiga-hardware.com/cgi-bin/showdriverforum.pl
- i can download those and put them on floppy and for postage fee (ie you pay
just the postage) have it send out to you.
