In the morning I have to cycle the power at least once (often more) before the machine realizes there is a bootable drive out there. The dealer said Apple has recognized the problem and is working on a ROM swap of some sort. This problem is apparently limited to the 20 Mb drives Apple is using. Can anyone else confirm this? The machine works great when it does boot, but cycling the power all the time is getting old. -- Cliff Loucks [gatech | ucbvax]!unmvax!sandia!intvax!loucks Sandia National Labs, Albuquerque, New Mexico Poor New Mexico; So far from Heaven, and so close to Texas.
