- This isn't true, since my GVP drive boots from a Quantum with ID 0, and
- yet still scans and finds the slow, old Miniscribe at ID 1 which has a
- lower boot priority. But I also have the problem that I have to turn
- on the Miniscribe 20secs or more before the computer, so that the
- drive is recognised on startup. At least it's an external drive.
