With the Apple DMA card, I believe you have to power up all your SCSI devices first before your turn on your IIGS. The RamFAST/SCSI card, however, lets you turn your IIGS on and it will wait for your drives to come up to speed. The RamFAST does a bunch of other neat stuff too, but I am just giving a simple answer. :-) >Andi >---- >ProLine: asong@pro-nbs >Internet: asong@pro-nbs.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-nbs!asong >ARPA: crash!pro-nbs!asong@nosc.mil -- ===> Josef W.
