Man, I wish you still had your webpage. I needed some Rev. 7 ROM's for another project and had to order them all the way from Europe. Got anything else you're holding back on?

lol

After 7 pages of comments on this thread I can't seem to get away from, I think we've hit the nail on the head. I don't recall Brian posting what model or size hard drive he's trying to use, but putting my Sherlock Holmes hat on, I'd say that that's maybe why the 2091 isn't seeing the drive attached to it now. It's old ROM version isn't working with a more modern drive? I bet you get these upgrade ROM's might just solve your problems!

Hi I hope you are right but I do have a harddrive that was fitted when I bought the A2000 which is spinning up ,but I am afraid that does not show up, and that one is a DSAS-3360 350MB Its the one that appeared dead but came back to life probably because the jumpers were not right ,best wishes Brian. ps I have pm mechy

I haven't searched for the revision history of your version 5.92 rom for the A2091 (you can probably find it!), but, I'd be willing to bet that it dates back to the early days of hard drives, before 2.1Gig or maybe even before 350MB sizes were available or common. Remember, it took V7.0 to allow enough address range to access drives larger than 1Gig (1000MB). Besides, you described the drive as "IBM DSAS-3540 84G8396 Apple ROM 350MB 3.5 50 Pin SCSI Hard Drive". It appears that drive was latter brought over from a Mac (and interfaced to the accelerator?) by the previous owner. I really doubt it was the drive originally sold with the A2091.

On the bright side, after you get the new roms, you will have 2 drives that can be run in your A2000 (if there is space in the machine, and, you jumper each to unique SCSI addresses). Also, don't be too fast to reformat that 350MB drive, it probably has some applications that you don't already have.

Just for grins, did you get an accelerator with this A2000? Which one? Do you intend to re-install CD drive? What other cards, peripherals came with it?

Shoot, I just bought a 68010 and a 33c93a from ebay in China a month ago. Will email you first, next time I have a project! You don't happen to have any 1Mx4 60ns DIP's for a VXL*30, do you? I've been looking for those for about two years.
