- Don't know if it's related, but I recently worked on a guy's 3000 where
- he installed a Progressive Peripherals 040 (basic 040 card. No onboard RAM,
- no onboard SCSI.) and his hard drive disappeared. It paid no attention to
- the RDB. The bootscreen drives list had no trace of it. The hard drive did,
- however, mount manually, and did show up normally in 030 mode. Fortunately,
- he also had a 2091 lying around and we were able to set up a boot drive off
- of that and transfer control to the manually mounted motherboard SCSI drive.
-
- Also make sure you've got Set040, SetPatch 40.16, and 68040.library 37.30.
