I have an A2090 card and a CSA68020/68881 board with no 32 bit ram.
 
 They will Not work together. (but both work seperately)

I think the driver (hddisk) is dated  1986 , is this the latest driver?
(If not could you please e-mail me the latest version)

The problem is when I run binddrivers that task stops, (binddrivers
never exits). It seems to fallover on a particular call to execbase.
The last instruction (displayed by MetaScope) is  mov a2,(a0)

If i move the hddisk from expansion draw , to hddisk.device in the
devs draw, i can mount the harddisk (dh0:) , but when i do a
cd dh0: , the cd command displays 'Cant find dh0:'

I am running morerows, 672*266 on a B2000 rev 4.0 board (pal) with
2Mbytes expansion ram , 2*3.5inch drives, and (hopefully) A2090 +
20 Mbyte hard disk, and a CSA 68020/68881 board.

I have also done the wire-link modification to the main B2000 board,
as required by CSA for the 68020 board on Rev4.0 and later boards.

Slots are as follows :-

     I  I  E  E  E  M  H     6
     B  B  M  M  M  E  A     8
     M  M  P  P  P  M  R     0
           T  T  T  O  D     2
	   Y  Y  Y  R  D     0
                    Y  I     C
                       S     P
                       K     U

   Thanks in advance for any help
