- To all who offered suggestions/advice,
-
- Thanks!
-
- The solution seems to be the RDBflags program. I set the LastDrive bit to
- yes for my internal (boot) drive, and everything works like I want.
-
- I was becoming hesitent about leaving a cartidge in the Syquest
- constantly, because it would sometimes not spin up fast enough to be
- recognized by the ScsiMounter command in the user-startup. When this
- happened, even a warm boot would not work, I had to power off and wait
- then power on. Unlike a floppy, the drive motor runs all the time when a
- cartidge is inserted, and unlike a regular hard drive, I don't think the
- Syquest is _really_ intended to run _all_ of the time.
-
- Again, my thanks for your efforts.
