- The same thing happened to me with a Syquest. I originally had it
- connected with an old Adapted mfm drive, and the Syquest would not boot
- directly on the first try. When I replaced the mfm drive with a Quanton
- 52, the Syquest would boot fine (though I immediately moved my C drive
- to the Quantum, as it booted faster anyway.) I found that ICD's coldboot
- program was about the quickest way to get started, especially after it
- was configured to only look for scsi id0 before starting.
