I can't get my IIcx to work with both its internal 40Meg HD and an external 45Meg MacBottom. There is not SCSI address conflict (the MacBottom is set to 5, and the internal Apple HD is 0.) Here is the situation in detail: 1) When you boot with the external drive on, the machine refuses to acknowledge the presence of the internal HD. The system startup choice does not show the internal. SCSI Tools does not find it either. 2) When you boot up with the external turned off, the cx shows thequestion mark disk icon, i.e. it still doesn't know about the internal HD. 3) If you disconnect the external HD, everything is OK with the internal HD. I am running version 6.0.4 of the system with multifinder with 5 megs of RAM. I've got zillions of inits and CDEVs but I suspect that is irrelevant to what appears to be a hardware issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Jeff Ersoff Math & Computer Sci., Salem College, Winston-Salem, NC 27108 USENET: jae@ecsvax
