I have a homemade HD with an 85meg Seagate HD in a Tulin case. I have been running with the Rev C card for about a year now with no problems. When I install the card into my GS (have tried slot 1, 2, 7), I get a 70-30 chance of not booting. I get either crashes into the monitor or I get a Relocation/Configuration error. I have set up Prosel-8 on my hd to bootup first. Then I have an option on the Prosel Menu to run a Basic Program to run the Prodos file for GSOS.(I tried to set this file up directly in Prosel-8 but it would boot) This setup has worked fine for a year. When i get the computer booted into ProDOS-8, I try to boot into GSOS and it crashes about 3/4 of the time. Most of the time, it beeps and the thermonoter keeps going. FYI, the rest of my system contains a Rev D GS-Ram card with 1.5 megs. I first thought the problem was using the card in slot 1, but when I tried it ion slot 7, I got the same results. Also, when I went back to the Rev C card, with the new drivers (already installed from the disk with the DMA card), I could not use appletalk off the same slot as I have been before with the old drivers. I have tried both the DMA on and off, and got the same results. My main question is, Do I have to or should I reformat the drive with the Advanced Disk Util with the new drivers installed??? I was hoping that I wouldn't have to because the combined partitions take up about 65-70 meg and I am not too anxious to spend the time to backup it up right now. I used the HDformat program available from Brown to do a low-level format of the HD. If anyone has had any experiences with the High Speed SCSI DMA card and home brew HD's good and bad, please let me know.
