What would you boot from? AFAIK the CS-PPC UW-SCSI is nonbootable.

Boots fine for me  Just a 10 second delay as it scans the SCSI bus from the onboard scsi.. Matter of fact I have 4 boot partitions 3.1 3.5 3.9 and 1 for the future. all three boot up using the boot selector option in the 3.1 rom

CS-PPC UW-SCSI is bootable. What he needs to do is go to the CSPPC boot menu by holding ESC key at boot and set the MAPROM on and then he would have the "disable native scsi.device" or similar option available.

What sucks about this is that it takes away the possibility of using blizkick, as blizkick requires the MAPROM setting to be disabled.

Why disable it.........
Just don't use it. If nothing is on that bus
then its prety much ignored.
It would be checked on boot to see if any devices
are attached and if not then ignore it.
I boot my A3k from my WarpDrive SCSI and use the
A3000 SCSI for external drives, works fine.

LOL! I'm just going on what I heard recently. I guess I heard wrong:-P I actually have 2 CS-PPC cards now, but havn't gotten a chance to add UW drive to it. It's good to know they are bootable.

:-? Mine's got the original V4 Ramsey and V2 SuperDMAC and has been booting off its internal hard drives (50M, then 2G) for over 12 years.  Or have I just been imagining it? :-D
