C= recently solved my Hi-res DMA contention problem by swapping the
2090A/rodime 40Mb combination with a 2091/Quantum LP52S.
Question is.....what is a Quantum LP52S??? Any helpers out there?
The only thing I know about the Drive is that it has 50Meg. The zillion
page 2091 manual doesnt talk about it and I had a few anxious moments
when (because of curiosity and trying to increase the number of
buffers) I clobbered the disk and tried to re-format it. There aint no
mountlist to edit!!. I managed to get it all together again but have
that nagging doubt...."did I get it right?"
Cheers,
Glenn

I think its the replacement for the Quantum 40 Meg 11ms drive,
and I also think its touted as a 9ms drive. So, you're getting about
25% nore storage and almost 20% faster access to it - not bad, was it
free ?
How do I know this ? I called Creative Computing re their
2091 & 40 Meg deal for $399 this week-end - stock out !
"But we can provide it with a 52 Meg drive for $475" I thought I
smelled a bait and switch, so I decided to play along with it.
"Gee - looking at your advertized price for the raw 40 meg drive, and
given that you just said you're out of them, can you just send me a
2091 for $61 with nothing on it? (rising inflexion)". They explained
some things to me. Then I got a flyer last night from the software
hut, that's where I saw the 9 ms claim.
R {I might still get it.... add 5% S&H, etc.}

re: .1
Yes, it was free...exchanged under warranty for the 2090A/Rodime.
Seems real fast - maybe too fast! I used BAD on the hard disk. All went
well, but boot was erratic where it had never been erratic on the
2090a.
I ended up putting "wait"s after each "arun...." and no further
troubles.
