Hello, I've got an A2000+A2630+ GVP Impact II controller (ROM V3.7 ) with a Quantum LP105 as unit 0 on the bus. When I power-up, quite often the Quantum flashes the LED (approx every 1/2 second ) and the system boots up presumably from ROM and mounts the other devices on the bus. When I run FaaaaastPrep I see the Quantum as device 0 but it has no size. Furthermore, I can't get the controller to boot from any other device on the bus when this happens. If I power-on/ off and/or leave the system for a day or two then it will boot up perfectly. How can I tell if it is the controller having problems or the disk itself (they are both 4 years old ). All ideas gratefully received. Ged Murphy on Autopilot ……Bonn,Germany
