	Uh, believe it or not, my GS now reports having TWO phantom drives... 
AppleSCSI.HD02.01 and AppleSCSI.HD02.02...  Happened right after running FTA's
Plotting... (hmm...)  Powered down and rebooted, even shift booted, still have
two extra SCSI drives...  The GS case feels cool, I've been using this GS for
the past couple of years in the same place, with System Saver IIgs, so I don't
think heat is a problem (it still may be tho).
	I have a 1600k Ram drive, might that be the problem?  It takes the
system about 10 secs to initialise the Ram drive.  Is that normal?  (I have
heck of a lot of DAs and PIFs and TIFs, etc, takes a couple of minutes to
boot... <embarrased grin> from HD)
	Any answers most welcomed.  Thanx in advance.  Ciao.
