Oops, I have my A2500 resting on it's left side - right side up. About
the only way I can fit it in the allowable space. Is this really a
problem with the A2500?

Also:
1) What does a gold colored boot screen mean? I don't see it in the list.
2) The drive light from the A2090a controller just turns on and STAYS on.
Even when I don't apply power to the drive. (I have to disconnect the drive
in order to boot the machine off of floppy)

Thanks, Kent
