There is a "MD90 Gouge Sheet" that you will find in the lounge in CVG. It is good info and summarizes most of the info. Some specifics on first walking up to the cockpit include: different min quantities for oil & hydraulics; some differences in preflight of cockpit, ie, TRP; with both packs on cockpit is relatively quiet - inst cooling fan runs when one pack is off; during start the EGT will rise before you see FF and start limits are different- all automatic; when you turn packs back on you will think you shut down something because the cooling fan will quit; on T/O pwr settings are about 10% less than 88; need to carry pwr longer on landing. Just my 2 cents worth. Have fun.
