Re: Q Drive Help

[George Rentovich <grent@home.com>]

Hi,
 What slot is the SCSI card in (&what kind is it)? Apple starts from slot 7 on
down.  If the SCSI card is in any other slot then 7 the apple roms will try to
boot 7, then 6 and so on. Will the HD boot up if the flopys and or flopy card
is removed (power off first) ?  If not the hard drive may have a bad block or
corruptted file.
  Take Care,
            George
