4159.0. "2090a vs 2091 ?" by PEEVAX::LAWSON () Fri Sep 28 1990 13:19

    I currently have a 2090A  which has the well known DMA contention bug.
    
    I recall reading somewhere that the 2091 fixes the problem.
     
    Is there anyone out thre who could confirm this?

Re: .0

I have a 2091, and have tested it under heavy DMA contention situations.
The 2091 does not have the DMA bug of the 2090 and 2090A.

I quite happy with the 2091, and recommend it highly.

    C= are SLOWWWW, but they came through. After 2 weeks in the shop, the
    2500 came back without the 2090A/rodine 40Meg ST506 and with a 2091 and a
    Quantum LP52S 50 Meg SCSI installed at no charge.
    
    	The moral of the story is...dont accept a substandard product.
    
    If you are out there and doing Hi-res with overscan, AND you dont think
    that you SHOULD have to pull windows down/ click to back to read or
    write a file, let Commodore know.
