Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to update 2090A's roms to make it autobootable?
The 2090A is autobooting under 1.3-who knows if unix can autoboot on it.
it was the first that i know of. the plain 2090 is not.
it probably wont work with a drive larger than 1gb and partitions i think needed to be no bigger than 256MB depending on rom version .
notice jumper j4 turns on/off autobooting(check links below).
the 2090 doesn't follow commodores RDB standard either.
2091's are still around, it would probably be easier/wise to upgrade to a 2091.they are the better of the crappy/slow commodore controllers lol.
