> controller in the photo actually isn't an Amiga hard drive controller at > all... it's a regular (albiet old) IBM PC hard driver controller. You can He's right about that. Looks like MFM controller of some sort (ISA 8 bit card) This was likely used with the bridgeboard... > card called a bridgeboard in to the Amiga (basically just an IBM PC on a which i have :) Not sure if i'd want to sell it though. > (2) The other possibility is that you have a special compatability card, > that allows your Amiga to directly access cards in it's ISA slots. Unlike that be newsflash to me... never seen any of those working and booting amiga os from isa 8bit slot... > see the controller and hard drive - it's DEFINATELY not a 2090A controller. yup. www.amiga-hardware.com had the pics that i send you... you should have compared it with those... and saved yourself and others the time & misery... BTW, forget playing with that piece of junk (the controller) and begin looking for 2091 HD controller - they can come quite cheap sometimes. Last time i had one i sold mine for $50-60 US - if u r interested in can get one for ya. -- ___ / __|__ Burt /Terminator / / / / |_/ www.museum.c64.org / / \ \__|_\ Adoring C= 64 / 128 and \ \/ / \___| Getting into Amiga, too... \/\/
