SCSI Hard drive problems . . .

[wbdesnoy@acs2.acs.ucalgary.ca (Byron Desnoyers Winmill)]

One of the (several) problems which I have with my IIgs configuration is a
finicky SCSI hard drive.  The problem is that I do not know if it is because
of the controller, or hard drive, or of even deeper problems.

The issue is this, when the hard drive and computer are first started it
will always start booting GS/OS, get to a particular point, then dump me into
the monitor.  It does not matter how long I give the drive to spin up, nor
anything else that I can think of.  (This is the only device on the chain,
and there is a terminator on the end, but I would assume that this would
be a problem in detecting the drive, not loading software from it.)

At that point, I turn both the machine and hard drive off, turn the drive
back on, give it time to spin up, then power on the computer.  All works
fine.  If the drive is not turned off then on, it will do the same thing.

Has anybody else experienced this?  Or is it time to go hard drive shopping?

Thanks for the help,
