Betty, I picked up SCSIMounter (is this the "SCSImount" you mentioned?) the same night I first plugged in the SyQuest. Its purpose is to mount/remount a SCSI device. You need to mount, of course, if Amy doesn't recognize the drive on startup. This would be the case if I could find out how to set that "NOWAIT" flag (or whatever) as I'd like. This was the way the IOMEGA worked: if there was no cart in the drive when the system booted, it didn't know it was there even after a cart was inserted… until you mounted the drive. Remounting is needed when you change a cart (particularly if it's partitioned differently), because there's no "diskchange" signal and Amy won't know you've swapped media. If it thinks disk "X" is mounted and you write to disk "Y"… bad news! So yes, it's a useful piece of the puzzle, but it hasn't anything to do with the initial bootup, which is where I'm getting hung. Might have an answer, though; Erik Flom gave me a suggestion in another message that sounds good. As for "still working with the Amiga," heck, I won't give it up any time soon (at least not by choice). It's already been said in another thread: it does what I need it to do! I see no reason to change platforms. Besides, it's still one of the best systems I've ever used. Thanks for the well-wishes. Hope all is great with you (all) too. Rick
