I have an Amiga 1000 w/ an Escort 2 memory expansion unit from Expansion
Technologies (2 megs).  This brings it to a grand total of 2.5 megs.
I just purchased a Supra SCSI Adaptor for the 1000.  (I don't have the SCSI
drive yet, but I decided to hook it up to make sure there were no problems.
Oh well...)

Here's the problem:
  The Escort 2 is on the expansion bus.  This is where the scsi adaptor goes 
  also.  At first, I put the SCSI at the end of the chain.  The system boots
  up, but once you click on anything w/ the mouse, it's guru time.

  If I put the SCSI in front of the Memory in the chain, the system boots,
  ignores the External memory (~400K free).
  
  Supra suggested grounding the PALS.  Anyone else have an opinion on this?
