Hi Chris. > I'm getting an icon that says "DF1????". You need to remove a jumper on your motherboard, it's jumper J301, and it lives on the motherboard next to the floppy ribbon cable, if memory serves me. > When I first turn on the computer, my 1gig HD doesn't want to boot. I think it's getting confused with the Syquest. You may want to use a program such as expert prep to see what the boot priority of your drives are. Your floppies should be +4, your "Boot" drive -10, and any additional "mount" drives at -128. > I have the Terminator Resistor packs plugged into the Syquest. since my Syquest is Unit 6 and my 1 gig is Unit 0, I figured this means that my Syquest is the last drive on the chain. Not true. The scsi id# is just an adress so the controler knows who it's speaking to. What they mean is, the last _PHYSICAL_ device, which is the last drive on the scsi ribbon. Which ever drive is the last _physical_ device on the chain needs to be terminated. DON"T TERMINATE BOTH DRIVES !!! If you had the 1 Gig in your setup before, it should have been terminated, since it would have been the last physical device.(it was your only device) If you did not remove the terminating resistors, you were double terminated. This will cause BIG problems. So….. If your sysquest is the last _physical_ device, you must remove the termination on the 1 gig. Good Luck, Mike Brennan, Sir Render A/V is
