I've got a Disk II card in slot 6, so scan would boot my 5.25 drive
:-) Since your SCSI card is in slot 2, you can't use any software that
accesses the modem port through the firmware. I used to have a ROM 01
with a SCSI card in slot 1, and whenever I'd try to print from some
programs (I forget which), my system would reboot :) I'm much happier
now that I have a ROM 3 :-)
