Since the device is dealing with removable cards, it is checking to see if any have changed; it is a version of the Amiga floppy click

I see this in OS 4.1 where I have an LED attached to the CSPPC board and it flashes about every second, even with SCSI CF card reader not mounted in the CSPPC scsi menu.  I haven't figured why you can't boot off the Card Reader in OS 4.1; you can in OS 3.X. The CF cards are present and can be mounted and read in OS 4.1. In the Media Toolkit you save device changes with "Inject" button as the "Save to Disk" button gives an error "Can't write to sector 0."

Yes, the A2091 behaves the same way. The GVP SCSI Boards are fine with the CF card in second slot

I have GVP in that A2000 with a GVP 040 and 32MB of ram plus an Indivision ECS;  I keep the OS on the CF and the WHDLoads on SD. It has a dual boot ROM so I can degrade it back to KS 1.3 and a 68000 if I need to. I use my other SCSI CF readers in my A4000T's where they work fine, except I can't boot from them in OS 4.1; I can boot from a CF over my IDE Controller (scsi.device). But we are here to answer why the controller flashes every second, which we did; so on to new thread!
