I have a Deltis 230 mb from APS and a high speed SCSI. When it's on the chain
with the hard disk, it keeps the hard disk from booting. I put it on the chain
by itself and booted from Appleshare and the IIgs didn't know it was there. 
It does work fine on my Mac Plus though, and on the Quadra of course.
