At a quick guess I'd say you might have to pull the CFFA out of slot 7
and put the SCSI card there. The reason being that AFAIK the GS
expects slot 6 to be a 5.25 drive, even when designated as your card.
If I'm wrong, and there is a good chance of that, I'm sure someone
else here will chime in to let you know what to do.
