I've run across an interesting problem in some GS/OS software I'm writing.  If
the program crashes or I try to exit via a control-reset reboot I can't boot
the system off my CMS 60 hard disk attached via the CMS SCSI card unless I
power down the machine for a minimum of about 5 minutes.. sometimes longer. 
The program has an interrupt handler and all but you'd think that a ctrl-reset
or even a brief power down should take care of this sufficiently.  I can boot
off the 3.5 disk so it makes me wonder if there's not something funny in the
way the GS/OS drivers handle the CMS ROM based driver and perhaps there's
something on the CMS SCSI card or hard drive that you can kill for awhile even
with the power off.  Anyone have any clues on this?
