The following started happening to me after I installed a hard drive
on my STe, but first, some background...

This is a 520STe with 4mb of RAM, and TOS 2.06. The hard drive is
an ICD AdSCSI Plus controller card, with a Seagate ST-225M (I 
purchased each seperatly and built my own shoe-box for it)

So anyways. Every now and then, when I try to access the A: drive,
I get an error message Drive A: Does Not Exist. Damn straight it
exists, its internal, how could I remove it? Usually a soft-reboot
fixes it up. The other problem is in trying to read the B: drive
(SF314), it asks me to Put Disk B: In Drive A: (or some such drivel,
) and when I answer the dialogue box, it reads drive A: not B:. Again,
a soft reboot usually fixes it.

Its not really life-or-death, but it gets to be annoying... One thing
is that mostly it happens on power on, when it boots off the hard drive.
I guess since it doesnt see the floppy during boot, it assumes it
doesnt exist? Which is a bummer, because Ive got that program No Roach
on the floppy, that lets me set the boot delay time.

Ive noticed that the floppy access lights (both) of them blink dimly
at a rather quick rate. But they no blinken when the above happens.
(btw: as an aside, just what is this blinking anyways? It did the
same thing on a 520STfm that I had, but I thought it was just my
imagination. Is it some kind of heart-beat?)

So anyways. Does anyone who has a similar setup have these kind of
odd happenings too? And how can I stop this?

Thanx
