Hank, Basically I never really have had a conflict between the WarpEngine's SCSI and the Flyer's SCSI, although that is what the technician at HT Electronics thought when I described the problem to him. When I first received my A4000 back from HT Electronics with the Flyer card installed, I hooked up my Micropolis 4110 external SCSI HD to the WarpEngine's SCSI port, turned on the Micropolis, and attempted to boot the A4000. The yellow internal IDE HD light on the A4000 burned steadily, but nothing further happened. The system simply refused to boot. I removed the Micropolis from the WarpEngine's SCSI port, and the A4000 booted fine. Eventually I found that the problem could be resolved simply by turning on the Micropolis external SCSI HD simultaneously with booting the A4000, i.e. turning on everything simultaneously from the master switch of the Tripp Lite command console that I have everything plugged into. The system has booted up fine and run O.K. ever since with no sign of a SCSI conflict. Tom P.S. I have a Toshiba 3401 SCSI CDROM also in the WarpEngine's SCSI port hooked in series to the Micropolis HD and it works fine. I just plug in a CD and it shows up as an icon on WB.
