I need some help with the configuration of an Octagon 2008 SCSI II board, I don't have a drive fitted to the board but I am using it to drive a CD-ROM. The trouble is when I reboot the main HD goes active then shuts down, followed by a short period of activity from the CD-ROM then everything dies for about 12 – 15 seconds. After this time the main HD goes active and the startup-sequence is completed. Everything works O.K. Of course the last thing I need is a startup that lasts nearly a minute and a half, I have an idea that the controller is searching for other devices, I tried putting a termination on the CD-ROM expansion bus but it seems to have little or no effect. I tried all the jumpers that were relevant but still no luck. HELP!!! Wishing the world was a happier and peaceful place… STARFIRE cruising the stratosphere MOTOROLA 040 and AUTOPILOT ENGAGED!
