Replacement A590 Drive on eBay

[Zac67]

Definitely not. This is a bog standard MFM aka ST506 type drive, the A590 used an XT bus drive (the 8 bit variant of IDE) - very rare and not worth looking for (or SCSI of course). The drive even looks like a 5.25" drive, no way to fit it into an A590.

MFM drives can be used on an A2090(a) or an ALF controller.

PS: must've been some ancient laptop... :roll:

Don't forget to adjust your auction text accordingly - if you want to keep that 100%...

... including "Capacity: 1 GB" -  :crazy:

I took SCSI on an A590 for granted. However, the originally shipped drives were 20 MB XT drives and these are frequently mixed up with IDE or MFM drives, but are not at all compatible with the those.
