I have a IIci with a CD-Technologies Porta-drive CD-ROM drive. It works
fine except that it prevents the system from starting up when a CD-ROM is
left ejected, but in the drive. SCSI termination is proper with one terminator
on the CD-ROM which is at the end of the chain.

This is very inconvient, especially for system restarts. The CD-ROM disc
must be pulled completely out of the drive for the system not to halt on
startup. CD-Technologies customer support wasn't much help. Anyone have
similar problems or have any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks in advance
for any replies!

Would appreciate direct replies.
