I have a 512KE with 2MB of RAM, and an add-on SCSI port.  I also have a
serial HD (MacBottom - attached to the printer port) which requires booting 
from floppy.  I wish to add a SCSI HD to the system, and use the serial HD 
for online storage/backup only (NOT as a system disk). The way I see it, the 
SCSI would boot at power-up, and if (only if) I run the 'Electric Start' 
program thereafter, manually, I will be able to gain access to the serial. 
Anybody out there do/done this? Anyone see any problems I might expect using 
this method??

Thanks a lot...
Gary
