  This did not happen to me; I have had relatively decent luck with it I
suppose...

  I actually approve of it since the computer will now skip my HD if I do not 
turn it on, a great boon to virus-paranoid game players.  :)

  It seems to work reasonably well; for unattended power-off reboots, I use a 
3.5 floppy with a thirty second delay under basic.system.

  Thus far, it seems somewhat better to me.  I reformatted it with a 1:1 
interleave (The best that Prosel-16 could find) and am happily chugging 
along.  One annoyance; my CMS card did not come with quite enough jumpers, 
so I am missing about a meg of disk space.  Sometime, I will go down to Radio 
Shack to get some more of them, but it is a tad annoying since my 
configuration is hardly unusual.
