Message-ID: <8801191331.AA17584@decwrl.dec.com> Date: 19 Jan 88 13:31:11 GMT Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 10 I have a 512KE with 2MB of RAM, and an add-on SCSI port. I also have a serial HD (MacBottom - attached to the printer port) which requires booting from floppy. I wish to add a SCSI HD to the system, and use the serial HD for online storage/backup only (NOT as a system disk). The way I see it, the SCSI would boot at power-up, and if (only if) I run the 'Electric Start' program thereafter, manually, I will be able to gain access to the serial. Anybody out there do/done this? Anyone see any problems I might expect using this method?? Thanks a lot... Gary
