Chris,

This is going on the assumption that your SCSI card is Rev C.:

You mentioned placing the SCSI card in slot 4 ---  you're right it will
disable your mouse on the //gs.  Slot 4 is reserved for the mouse as the
default.  Select "Your Card" for slot 4 disables this ability.

If this helps any (it works on my gs) here's my config:

7   Apple SCSI    > Seagate ST277N Hard Drive (65 Meg)
6   Internal      > Laser 5.25" Drive
5   Smartport     > AppleDisk 3.5"
4   Internal
3   Internal      > 1 meg Apple Expansion, RamKeeper, 1 meg GS-Ram +
2   Internal      > Avatex 2400
1   Internal      > ImageWriter I

On occasion I have used 2 GS-Ram pluses along with 2 2 Meg expansions
with the RamKeeper.   Neither configuration gave me any problems...
(By the way ----  that's 16 Meg.  the reason I don't leave em in there
is because I don't like the heat in the GS although I do have a System
Saver on it.)

However, I do boot from an AEROM disk (ROM Disk) that has RunRun on it.
I didn't like having to boot ProDOS 16 everytime I wanted to use
AppleWorks or any other ProDOS 8 program.  I then run (from RunRun) the
Prodos file in the root directory of the first partition of the hard
drive.  (Hope you kept track of that)
