Hi All!
       This is my first posting, so bear with me if the text looks funny.

       I have a B2000 with a 2090 controller with a Seagate ST125 st506
       20M hard disk attached. The problem is that the drive intermittently
       won't boot with a warm start - no access led goes on and I
       eventually get a Guru (x4.x or xb.x). If I power off and on again,
       everything comes up ok. This is a real pain!
       It got to the stage where I had to disable the autoboot function
       of the controller and go back to floppy bootup.
       (HINT: To those wanting to disable autoboot, merely remove the
       two eproms labelled HI and LO. )

       Does anyone have the answer as to why this happens? Is it Seagate
       strikes again, as most of the news entries seem to suggest?

Regards,
Rob Glucz.
