Rudy,

    I used to have such a configuration before, and I don't remember any problem.
But did you remember to remove one SIMM from the Sirius RAM card ? It should only
house 7Mb if slotted to the ROM 3. And something about supplying termination power
swtich on the RAMFast SCSI card ...

    Try disabling DMA on the RAMFast as well to see if it works. Set boot to
RAMFast.

    Hmmm.... haven't touched my real GS in 2 years ... and I already parted with
my RAMFast SCSI. It's been Bernie ][ the Rescue since then .....
