I was never good at understanding how to get a SCSI HD working in an Amiga.  I always went IDE.   IE..bought a Dataflyer IDE for my A3k, A2k, A500 had an AdIDE.

Now that I have an A2000 with a Microbotics Hard Frame SCSI controller and a bad Quantum HD of unknown size, what should I replace it with?  

I also have a few 2091 controllers.  Between these 2 controllers, which would be best to use?
68pin SCSI drives work fine with a 50pin converter.

Try here for New old stock:

Wow! An old drive made before 2001! I hope it holds up for a few more years for you! I thought my 68-pin SCSI drives were old technology!!!
