[deletes speculation about why a Mac Plus wouldn't boot if both external SCSI

More speculation, but very, very early Mac Pluses (first months of 1986)
had a ROM bug that caused them to fail to boot if any SCSI devices were
connected but not powered on.  Does the Mac Plus in question fall into this
catagory?  Just checking.
