You might try asking on the Flex Users "fufu" list. I have a working MiniDOS
PlusX LFD-400 setup. I would be happy to trade dumps if you are interested.

Hello all,
I used Amigas for several decades and I really liked SCSI. The
problems with the Amiga and SCSI were related to firmware and not the
hardware. It was important to use the latest SCSI Roms on the 2091 and
the 590. The A3000 did have a problem with the hardware. If you upgraded

Greg,
Thanks for the response. The article you reference is also the one bit of
documentation I was able to find. It's been a big help. I have been in contact
with Bob and recently picked up one of his RAM/EPROM boards to use while I get
the system restored.

I have a pretty complete set from an139 into the 1100s if there are others
