I tried installing the accelerator in an Amiga 2000 (4.3 board) with
a hard disk and OMTI (IBM type) controller. The system hangs on the
initial disk access, with a spurious "not a DOS disk" requester. The
disk used here is a 30Mb drive; when the A2620 is installed in an
otherwise identical 2000 with only a 20Mb drive and similar (but slightly
different) OMTI controller it works perfectly. This is a question for
the experts in subtle timing problems; what say you?
