First, thanks guys. I got the thing at least partially working now. My current problem (not too big really) is that I can't seem to use the DMA aspect of my high speed SCSI card. Whenever I try to use the DMA set on, it seems to damage some icon file. It currently works in non-DMA mode fine. But, If I try to boot the hard disk OR a floppy with DMA on I get error $0005 (icon file is damaged). Any ideas why?

There wasn't a published standard for DMA from Apple when 3rd party developers began producing memory cards, but when the DMA SCSI card came out it was incompatible with most of them with the DMA option turned on. I heard Applied Engineering has a fix for one or more of their memory cards, but I'm not exactly sure. -- Shawn P.
