Hi guys!

A few weeks ago, I recall seeing a post about how to hook a 2090 up to the
side port on the 500.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do 
this, and am unwilling to go buy one unless I'm (fairly) sure it'll work.

Also, does this work with the 2090A? IF so, will it autoboot with 1.3 ROMS?

SO, if possible, could the original poster, or some other kind soul, give me
a simple diagram or pin-to-pin's on how to do this, if indeed it works with a
2090A.

Oh yeah - one last thing.  Does the 2090A support SCSI and ST506, or just SCSI?
If it is OK with 506, does it need an IBM controller card?

Thanx for putting up with that last question - it probably didn't belong in 
.tech.
