Buchsbaum) Distribution: na Organization: Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH Lines: 49 I have a weird problem (and my posting got garbled yesterday... sorry). I have a macceletor board from National Semiconductor and when I use it I lose my extended keyboard at startup and shutdown is messed up (macII monitor led stays lit). If I bypass the board, all is well. The board worked fine with only one scsi external and one internal. Now.... I have two externals (addresses 4 and 1) and an internal (default apple 40 meg quantum at address 0). To get everything to work, I have to start the external disks after the mac and then restart to get the two externals to mount. Scsi tools cdev does not help. In fact, if the power to this one drive, the newer one, is on before the mac, no key input....and shutdown waits for the drive to die before finishing. If the drive is off, the other external drive is ok, mounts, and I have key input. Both externals are Seagate ST296NUs. I have two terminations, correctly set up: Mac:old seagate(terminator):new seagate(no terminator) :scsi card(no terminators):internal quantum(terminator) I just want to avoid two restarts. The cirrus init does not help either (remounts scsiUs later in startup sequence>>). Any help would be appreciated. I hope this posting is not garbled. My tcp/ip host uses non-standard 9600 baud modems that are really noisy (JHU). Sorry to have wasted bandwith yesterday. Many thanks to Werner Uhrig from Texas. Your help has been fantastic. I cannot understand how your rn got my posting, while my own got gibberish, to say the least..... Thanks Werner.
