Yeah, the disk boots, and I've seen options that you mentioned but it acts
like it doesn't see the HD. It sees the 3.5, and the 5.25 but it doesn't
have the HD on the list of what looks like available disks. However, it does
show what looks like a generic HD on the list of disks to update.

I've gone into the control panel, and it says that I've got a "your card" in
slot 6, which is where I have the HD right now, until I can get it to be
bootable. I know the SCSI card and HD work because I've tested them on my
IIe.
