	I took an SCSI-disk from old supradrive and attached it to
	A590 as second drive, so I have now two drives (one XT and one
	SCSI ).  Ther was no straps or anything I should move. So I believe
	you can just switch original XT-drive to SCSI drive and go.

	Only switch with these things is on front, and it says which
	interface (SCSI or XT) controls disk activity led.

	Drive information is written on disk by format, and driver
	picks it from there, interface itself doesn't care.
