I just purchased a GVP 1291 SCSI unit to add to my 1230+ , I am having a problem with the unit. When installed the 1200 begins to boot from the IDE internal drive ( the drive light flickers for a second ) then the system freezes up. Is the 1291 factory set to try and autoboot a SCSI drive ? What are the J1 and J2 jumpers ( both shorted as delivered ) responsible for ? Your manual makes no mention of the jumpers or hardware select for autoboot. With the SCSI board removed the system boots and performs normally. Thanks for your assistance with this problem.
