Re: Booting problem with Altech Harddrive on IIGS ! -->Thanks!

["Deacon Blue" <scavenger@apexmail.com>]

Thanks for you input from the group!

-->   I've switched to slot#2 for the Focus Drive, and now boots normally
from the
       drive,  Thanks you all!

-->  In slot #3 I have installed a socalled  "Second Sight" video board for
viewing on
       SVGA  screens. This works,  but there seems to be some glitches in
various
       software.

I've noticed that the computer hangs from time to time forcing reboot, looks
like some sort of unstability.

Is this related to memory unstability or limitations on the video-board?
I 've not installed any proprietary drivers for the card, yet!

best regardxs
