        I'm not really sure on all these obscure port/slot configurations.
I mean, if I get a hard drive, I would probably put the SCSI card in slot
7, right? Then it would be the first slot scanned on power-up, correct? So
it wouldn't find anything there, it wouldn't find anything in the 5.25"
drive (slot 6), it wouldn't find anything in the 3.5" drive (slot 5), and
then I assume the "Check Startup Device" would come up, right? I think
somebody said the RamFAST SCSI card would be able to wait for the hard
drive in slot 7 to spin up first?

        Also, could I just put the SCSI card in slot 4 to give the drive
enough time to spool up? Or would that somehow disable the mouse?
