On my Mega ST... I have no SCSI 0 drive.  I use scsi 4 and 5 so I can
daisy chain a friends scsi 0 drive and still access my own disks.
But I can still boot... and use my hard disks w/o any SCSI 0 device
attached.

The fellow you've been chatting with says the TT won't recognize SCSI devices
1-7 on the ASCI bus, at least not without an SCSI 0 in place.  Device 0 MUST
be used for the first device.  Why????
