Michael:
This sounds like a disk drive that has been plugged in 'backwards' to
teh Disk controller. If so, the drive is blowna nd it could take out
any other drive controller you plug it in to. Be careful, i lost my
Laser128 that way. :(
Thankx,
Ed

Don't know if this helps. If I plug this into the Smart Port on my
IIgs, the machine won't boot - the red light on the drive unit comes on,
stays on - no further activity. Without this attached, the IIgs boots
normally to 6.0.1 from the FocusDrive in Slot 6 (set to 'Your Card',
Start Up Slot = 6), though I think I read somewhere that a IIgs has to
be configured properly to allow the machine to boot to a hard drive when
a 5.25" drive is attached. Don't remember the setup instructions...
