I just recently had my Mac 512Ke upgraded to a Mac Plus and I have noticed a problem booting from a SCSI hard disk. With this machine, the hard disk must be spun up for about 10 seconds before the Mac is turned on, otherwise the Mac will ignore the hard disk. I've have used the same disk on other Mac Pluses, and the drive and Mac can be turned on at the same time without any problem. The only difference that I can see is that my 512ke/MacPlus has version 2 (Lonely Heifer) roms in it, and the other MacPluses I've used have been version 3 (Loud Harmonica) roms. Is there a fix/upgrade available to fix this annoying problem?

I did, and since then I did not have this problem anymore. Why? It takes longer to test 2.5 Meg...
