I was thinking about doing the same thing (I also have a 512KE w/ 2MB
and a serial MacBottom).  One question though, why wouldn't you be able
to set 'ElectricStart' as the startup application on the SCSI disk?  I
don't see any reason why you would need to continue to run it from the
floppy.  It should work just as well from the other hard disk.  Would
appreciate any other info you might get or hearing your experiences when
you do it (since owing to cash flow difficulties I am not likely to go
through with the idea in the near future).  Thanx.
