016- Often, when I power-ON my computer, the disk in my
Zip Drive is not recognized. What's the problem?
Almost immediately after power-up, your SCSI interface begins checking for
devices. Most likely, the problem is that your SCSI interface checks the Zip
Drive before it is ready and decides no disk is present.
The cure is to put your Zip Drive, CD-ROM drive, etc. on a separate power
line. These devices should be switched ON 5-10 seconds before powering- ON the
computer. If you depend upon reading SCSI setup information from your Zip Drive-
- like, if it is the only write-able device on the SCSI chain-- then a Zip disk
on which the setup info has been saved should be inserted after the drive is
switched ON and before powering-ON the computer.

017- Sometimes the 3.5" drives on my GS do not function
correctly. This started after adding a SCSI interface
card. Is there a fix?
This problem seems to crop up from time to time when a SCSI interface is
present, especially when no device is connected and recognized on the SCSI
chain. Evidently, something (e.g. a register or softswitch) in the usual GS
power-up routine relating to on-line devices gets messed up.
Inserting a 3.5" diskette into Drive 1 before or just after power-up
usually forces recognition of 3.5" diskette drives and enables correct
functioning.

018- I get this message 'Ramfast/SCSI is searching the
SCSI bus for devices..etc.' Never had this problem
before-- only does it on a cold boot.
When you reinstalled the software, the RAMFast set itself for a long
search. This is an option that you can change using the RAMFast utility. What it
is doing is giving your scsi devices a chance to spin up. If you want a fast
check, go to the options menu on the utilities and reset the Short Timeout
option there to "YES".
