Are you saying that you cannot boot from the Chinook?

You should be able to - the Rom 0 IIc automatically tries to boot from
the first Smartport device (slot 5) and if that fails or is
unavailable it tries the internal 5.25 (slot 6). Was the Chinook
originally formated by a program that installs boot blocks?

The Rev 255 is the only IIc with the ability to manually boot from the
external UniDisk 5.25 (via PR#7).

A Rev 3/4 adds the ability to boot from the RAMcard (slot 4).
