Hi everyone
I am unable to boot-up my Apple G3 B&W from any external SCSI HDD.
The ext. HDD's icon mounts on the desktop when not used as a boot up drive.
However when the HDD is forced as a boot up drive, the G3 will not start up
from the external HDD. (SCSI ID and termination are all OK)
I have tried several HDDs and it's the same with all of them.
The same external HDD boots up successfully from my older beige Apple but
not from the G3!
I am beginning to suspect it could be a software driver problem.

Hardware is a G3 Blue & White (OS9.2.2) with an Advansys PCI SCSI card "ASB
3940ua Rev.2" All external HDDs have OS9.2.2.
Can you suggest what I should do? Anyone using the same SCSI card?
Any help sincerely appreciated.
Thanks
Jerry
