Here's another SCSI problem for any takers: I recently added (as in last night:)) a Toshiba CD-Rom drive to my SCSI chain, currently running on an A2000 with a 33MHz GVP combo card/SCSI controller card. I have the following on the SCSI chain: Internal Quantum 52LPS SCSI ID = 0 External Quantum 105HD SCSI ID = 1 External Ricoh Removable 52MB SCSI ID = 2 and the added: Toshiba CD-ROM drive SCSI ID = 3 Now, the problems I'm having are this: when i cold boot (power on the machine), the system hangs for about 30 sec with the green HD Disk light glowing, which then goes off. The screen remains white (or light gray…nothing unusual) except that it doesn't boot unless I hit Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga, which then works just fine. I had initially added a mount Toshiba: command into my user-startup sequence and thought that might be the culprit, but removing it didn't help any. BTW, the Ricoh is the last drive in the chain and is terminated (same as before). Also, I've got no disk in the CD-ROM drive at boot-up. Since several other people use the system, I'd prefer not to require a cold+warm boot to start the system. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what's going on here? Also, once the system is up it recognizes the drive; at least I can play an audio CD uneventfully and I can access the other Hard Drives without much problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! .. Tim Trompeter…
