Cirtech SCSI Card Problems

["David Douthitt" <ddouthitt@usa.net>]

I'm trying to get my SCSI drives working again on my
Apple IIgs, but I can't get the Cirtech SCSI Card to
work right.

Symptoms are: the system will boot off of a 3.5"
disk (using a Unidisk), then reaches the ProDOS
splash screen, and it stops accessing disk and
locks up.  A control-reset pops into the system
monitor (not Applesoft).

I've tried the following:

	- Change drive SCSI ID
	- Change card SCSI ID (was 5, then 7, then 0)
	- Remove drive data cable from drive
	- Remove drive data cable from Apple
	- Move card from slot 7 to slot 6 (also because
	  of interest in using Appletalk)
	- Disable Appletalk
	- Boot other diskettes (with differing
        versions of ProDOS)
	- Download most current Apple IIGS
	  System Utilities and boot

The only things that "worked" were:

	- Remove card from slot
	- Disable card in Apple IIGS firmware

I hope someone isn't going to tell me its
fried..... I've always had some trouble
getting this thing going, so I'm hopeful
that's all it is now.
