Hello,

I own a Rodime 652 Hard Disk. It comes from a Philips Yes computer. It
wrks excellent, but it has one problem, it will not boot! When I boot
from floppy and switch over to the hard disk system it works correctly,
but when I try to boot from hard disk I mostly get a bomb. I discovered
that when I boot, the proces is interfered when I move my mouse or do
some keyboard (when I make an event).

When it has booted without any system error, it will be a suprise if no
system error will occur in future (ID=28). 

My system configurations are a Mac Plus with the new corrected ROM's.
The cable between the harddisk and Mac is 10 centimeters (3 inches)
long. A friend of my has the same problems (by the way, when his hd is
cold (about 15 degrees) it will not spin fast enough, and he gets
read/write errors!!). 

Has anyone any suggestions. My hd is formatted with SF&I with the plain
vanilla resources. The hd is not recognized by Rodimes official software
etc etc.
