But I >also know people who use only the Syquest, and they don't have the >problem at all... Go figure. The same thing happened to me with a Syquest. I originally had it connected with an old Adapted mfm drive, and the Syquest would not boot directly on the first try. When I replaced the mfm drive with a Quanton 52, the Syquest would boot fine (though I immediately moved my C drive to the Quantum, as it booted faster anyway.) I found that ICD's coldboot program was about the quickest way to get started, especially after it was configured to only look for scsi id0 before starting. -- "If Rush fans were braindead, why are there so Bruce Bufalini many people posting to alt.music.rush?"
