I suspect that you are now booting from the CMS SCSI II card?
If so, and you have the CMS driver in place, then that is why you
now see all of the partitions on that, and being in the lower slot is
why the Ramfast can now map it's partitions. I think. Like I said,
you played around with it, and it works.
