Here's the situation. I have a Mac Plus with a Radius accelerator and a CDC Wren 94171 SCSI drive connected to the SCSI port(SCSI ID 6). I installed 6.07 on the Wren, did a Set-Startup and Restarted. The machine doesn't boot off the Wren. I can see the drive being polled periodically since its LED flashes. However, if I now put in a floppy, the machine boots and properly installs the Wren on the desktop. Files on the Wren can be accessed, manipulated, etc. . If I eject the floppy, point at the finder on the Wren and do a "option-clover-double click" it makes the Wren the start-up disk, and installs the collection of Cdevs from the Wren. However, none of the Inits from the system folder are installed. Everything is properly terminated. There are no conflicts that I can see. So the questions are: 1. What, if anything am I doing wrong here? 2. How can I force the Mac to boot off the Wren? 3. If #2 is not possible how can I force the Inits on the Wren to be loaded when I change the startup disk with the option-clover-double click sequence? 4. Is there something that prevents a Mac Plus from booting off the SCSI port? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Please e-mail or post; whichever is most convenient. regards prabha gopinath -- Prabha Gopinath Off. (914)-945-6539 (m/c) Philips Research Laboratories Res.
