I have been able to boot from my SyQuest drive with an internal
hard drive that had a system by doing a cold start on my mac II 
with the SyQuest already spinning.  Apparently, the mac does a 
SCSI check and my internal (quantum 105,  Gigasoft fomatting 
from Third Wave computing ) is not ready to boot and
goes to the SyQuest. I do not know if the SCSI addresses have 
anything to do with this I have not tested this, I just know it 
works.  The SyQuest is at 4 and the internal
is at 6.   The SyQuest is an APS drive but I have boot from 
cartridges that were formated using DPI software as well.
