Oh...and I thought I was the only one who couldn't get the boot roms to work
from a HD. I have a Maxtor 231 meg and a Quantum 105. Nither will boot from the
HD. The system just times out and eventually tries the floppy. Hmmm, out of
interest, when you system is not booting does the HD LED show any activity?
Mine doesn't...however, if I connect a digitial probe to the scsi activity line
I do get regular blinks. I sort of figured that the computer was sending
something to the HD, but never getting a reply. Guess I need to see the rom
code or borrow one of those scsi analyzers (anyone got one I can borrow ).

There is 1 Reply.
