	Hi John,
		About your booting from the Syquest when you first turn your
system on.  The Syquest mechanism takes 20 seconds to come up to full speed
when you first turn it on; but your computer is trying to acknowledge the
Syquest before the Syquest is ready.
	Your Syquest has a red/amber busy light, it also has a green ready
light; turn on the power to the Syquest and wait the 20 seconds for the ready
light to stay on, then turn your computer on.  This should solve the problem.
	If you like to use one switch to power your entire system up with, put
a program like COLDBOOT.PRG in the AUTO folder on the boot floppy.  This will
cause the system to reboot until the Syquest is ready.
	I hope this helps.  Bye.............

					Luis
