- I have the Syquest EZ drive (135MG) on my A2000 driven by a GVP Impact II
- 68030 22 mh board. I like the thing very much. Cheap, compact, fast and very
- inexpensive storage. No problem setting up and formating.
-
- An odd problem is that at cold boot the machine stops as soon as the internal
- hard drive (on the same scsi chain) lights the drive light. The solution is a
- quick warm reboot which allows a normal boot. But why the hang up? I suspect
- that the EZ drive spins up much faster than my internal Maxtor which may
- confuse the system. I set the boot priority on the Syquest disk to -128 but
- that didn't solve the problem. Any ideas?
