I have a 500 meg Focus in either slot 7 or 6.  There is a problem booting to
system 6.0.1 with the Sirius 8 meg RAM on a ROM 3 (no SCSI devices on the
SCSI card). What is working is to put a data disk in the default 3.5" drive
(slot 6 with the SCSI is set to My Card so the 5.25" drive is off, but the
process will work with the 5.25" drive on ).  'Unable to load Prodos' comes
on and I press control, Open-Apple, reset, and the machine boots from the
Focus. Sandy Warnken  warnken@nospam@mother.com  remove the no spam to write
