Initial CMS SCSI II Testing

["Bill Garber" <willy46pa@comcast.net>]

Here is what I've got so far. I still need to try with Focus
and my Apple SCSI card, (not HS), see what I get there.

 ========================================================

 Superdrive - slot 7, CMS SCSI II - slot 5

 Boots fine, driver allows all partitions on the 80 MB divided thusly, 32/32/16,
 normal shut-down crashes to monitor

 ========================================================

 Superdrive - slot 7, CMS SCSI II - slot 5,  Microdrive - 64 MB CF card - slot 2

 Boots fine, driver allows all partitions, on the 80 MB divided thusly, 32/32/16, and
  both partitions on the Microdrive card, normal shut-down crashes to monitor

 ========================================================

 Superdrive - slot 7, CMS SCSI II - slot 5, CFFA with 32 MB CF card - slot 2

 Remove Microdrive, add CFFA with 32 MB CF card, boot from floppy version of
 GS/OS and allow CFFA, to set up the CF card, and format. Shut down (no crash),
 floppy ejects, restart. CMS and CFFA partitions are now visible.

 ========================================================

 Superdrive - slot 7, Microdrive - slot 6 - 64 MB CF card, CMS SCSI II - slot 5,
  CFFA with 32 MB CF card - slot 2

 Booting from Microdrive added CMS driver, now sees both Microdrive partitions,
 all 3 CMS partitions, and CFFA partition. Shut down does not crash. Will look at
 jumper setting of CMS card to try to alleviate the crashing.

 ========================================================

 Obviously, there is a slot dependency where these drives are concerned. All I can
  say is, you've got to play around with it. I'll bring more tests as time permits.
