     You could boot a nearly bare bones System 6.0.1 from a diskette
which includes the needed SCSI drivers and copy the drivers you need to
your hard disk SYSTEM/DRIVERS/ folder.

     Regarding Salvation Supreme's desirability as a boot program, I do
not know. Unless you are very short on RAM, it is probably best to boot
into the standard System 6.0.1 Finder.
