These values are filled out:
cylinders: 620
heads: 4
blocks per track: 17
blocks per cylinder: 68
On this screen it also says "size 21046K (20meg)"
After this I get this screen: "Warning. The drive type you selected has 42160 blocks, while the drive itself has only 16383 blocks."
After save changes to drive, I get no usable drive icon...

Any ideas?
Thx
Some things to try:
These are the default drive geometry values in HDToolBox, so it read nothing. I have never encountered that error about "insufficient data returned by inquiry." Make sure you are running the latest firmware in the SCSI2SD. Try to remove the ROMS from the A2091 and try to set it up again without ROMS installed (should only prevent autobooting). If you succeed, you got bad ROMS. After that, the next thing to check is the WD33c93 SCSI controller chip. Oh, and "thou shall always check voltages".

FYI Drive icon is not visible until you reboot.

I had a bad A2091 (bad ROMS). The fix and installation with SCSI2SD v5.1 is in a video on my YouTube channel:

Hope that helps!
