Kevin...sorry to see so little of you on the forum. However, I do need some
help here with my mm/1. I recently received the update ROMs from Gary Latum
(the ones which will permit a boot from HD). However, they don't appear to work
properly with _my_ system.

I think the problem may be my I/O board. It is one of the originals...it has
serial number 0000009 scratched on it. The SCSI chip appears to be the same as
the one on the newer boards.

I have properly placed a boot on the HD. However, the ROMs seem unable to
recognize the HD(s). I have a Quantum and a Maxtor configured as ID #0 and #1.
I've switched them...no difference.

The LEDs attached to the drivers never blink. However, putting a probe on the
SCSI activity pins shows a regular (every 5 secs, appx) pulsing. I can only
assume that the ROM routine is attempting to find the HD but finding it busy(?)
or something.

Do you have any ideas on this at all.....
