Any chance of getting these two to work together??? With the M-Tec 68020i in place any hard drive I attach will not hold its settings. Kinda disappointed really. Any ideas, advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.


afaik, the M-Tec 68020i was designed to work with the M-Tec AT500 ide sidecar controller.  I had this complete setup once and they did work together fine.  I don't know what exactly was done in hardware/software, but the functionality on the AT500 is limited so that it only recognizes one ide device (not good if you want to add an atapi cd-rom).  I suspect a similar accelerator limitation so that the 68020i will only work with it's sidecar relative and not others (GVP, IVS, A590, etc.).  The only solution I know of is to try and find an AT500.  Another long shot would be to try the latest v7 eproms on the A2091.
