I have a AMIGA 2000 with 020/881 and a 2090 hard drive controller with a 20 meg hard drive. I need a lot of space for graphics video work, and I want to purchase a larger HARD DRIVE 80-105 megs. SO, I want to know what would be faster:
1) a standard st 506/412 drive slaped on the 2090 OR
2) a st 296n 85 meg "SCSI" drive pluged into the SCSI port of the 2090
   
WHICH IS FASTER, and will the ST296n work ???
IS a ESDI drive+controller even faster ??? , who makes a ESDI CONTROLLER???
