Yes, with the same effect - running from the HyperCard program floppy is
fine, but running from the Focus fails to load.

Since you have a ROM 03 and an 8MB Sirius card, perhaps the attention should
be given to the Focus.  I'm sure it's not FocusDriver or the CDEV, since
they are not activated when booting from the GS/OS 6.0.1 System floppy.

Anyone have a Focus drive that can try this?  Perhaps there are multiple
revisions of some sort of BIOS/controller chip on the Focus card itself that
could be contributing?

On a related note, anyone know if Alltech Electronics still offers
service/support on these cards?
