Strange problem:  when I power up my Mac plus, I've got to first turn
on the Peripheral Land 30 hard drive and wait about ten seconds until
I hear a chuga-chuga-chuga sound.  At that point I can turn on the Mac
plus itself, and boot normally.  If I don't wait, and turn both on at
the same time, the mac will fail to boot off the hard drive (just get
a black grey screen).  This is absolutely consistent and always
repeatable.  Any ideas?  I'm running finder 6.1 and system 6.0.2, and
it's happened with all the other systems I've had on here.  Anyone
have any idea why, and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks,
