I have narrowed my selection to either a HardFrame or an A2091 for a
controller, and will probably get a SyQuest rmovable hard drive.
Some questions:
1) Which is faster, HardFrame or A2091?
2) Does the A2091 fix the DMA/overscan slowdown problem of the A2090(a)?
3) I've been told that the SyQuest takes 10-15 seconds to spin up.
Will this cause timeout problems with the HardFrame? The A2091??
[note: I called MicroBotics about this - the person who answered was
clueless as to the answer]
4) Does the HardFrame work with the 6.2 motherboard?
^
5) When will the A2091 actually be available?
6) How many SCSI devices can the A2091 drive?
7) Can the A2091 be cabled to a drive in the 5-1/4" bay? To a drive in
en external chassis?
Thank you!
