Why did you answer Wayne? Yours is working. ;-)
The drive that won't boot OS7 may be having
an intermittent signal loss somewhere, possibly
a chip or cable not seated right, or just dirt.
Could be the drive itself. Are they SCSI or IDE,
or MFM/RLL?

BTW, would you happen to have any technical info,
schematics, hand-drawings, scans, pinouts, etc...
that I can drag out of you? Specifically RamWorks
II and III, Slinky, or RamFactor? Thanks.
