Does anyone now the exact details of this problem ??
Does it only occur when the MB1230XA has more than 4 megs in it ?

At the moment I have a MB1230XA 50Mhz 030+882 with a 16Mb Simm, I also
have a Zappo CD drive in the PCMCIA slot. I was going to upgrade (this
week) to the squirrel + quad speed CD ROM + Tape streamer.

Is anyone out there using the MB1230XA with >4Mb and the squirrel ?
If so can you use AutoXA, or are you stuck using SetXA ?

What if I was to upgrade to OS3.1 ? This apparently lets the ram
autoconfig, without the need for SetXA or AutoXA, but I think this
may lock out the PCMCIA slot with >4Mb.

Can anyone help ? Or am I stuck with my Zappo and no SCSI ??

And as another thought, what about the POWER Computing SCSI interface ??
