Hmmm... one thing I've noted on my 3.0-elf/cam box: When I boot, the SCSI system detects the SCSI disk and zip drive right off, but the SCSI CDROM isn't detected right away. If there's a disk in it, it comes up a line or two later, but if it's empty, I don't get the line reporting the presence/specs/etc of the CDROM until well after the system has finished booting, and multi-user mode has started up... Any ideas what causes this? OR is this just the way it is? ________________________________________________________________________ William R.
