A couple of thoughts come to mind. Are you also powering down your CMS-60
when you power down your GS? It appears there maybe enough power coming
through the CMS SCSI card to hold some memory in the GS. Also there is
a problem with some of the main chips on the CMS card. If yours should
be a Mitsubisi (sp??) chip, contact CMS for a FREE upgrade chip. The bad
ones have a timing defect problem that can affect many things including
the boot sequence, not allowing the use of some other cards such as a 
Fingerprint GSI card, etc. 

I obtained my free upgrade chips for my CMS drives at the last Applefest
and everything works just fine now.

Hope the above is of some help.
