Seems to be 2.x startup-sequence - don't remember what's changed in 3.x. So do check from your WB floppy.

I am adding the statement to the startup sequence now. One thing - although the one line says Workbench 2.1, notice the kickstart & workbench numbers. This IS a 3.1 install. Maybe I upgraded it from 2.1 to 3.1 way back when I first got this machine - not sure.  I guess I should wipe the drive and start from scratch?
I really do appreciate the help. Many thanks.

Did you do a fresh install of 3.1?  Or upgrade?  +1 to doing a fresh install should solve your problem.  That's what I always recommend with Window's PC's, you can spend hours troubleshooting an issue, or just wipe the drive and start fresh.  "Make it be like it was when it was brand new", that's a line I tell people every day, haha.  ;)

Your startup-sequence is from Workbench 2.1. It's missing the line "C:AddDataTypes REFRESH QUIET"

But your 3.1 upgrade-install isn't correct anyway as it's left the old 2.1 startup-sequence intact. My advice would be to start a fresh from 3.1.

Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I thought the best way out was a completely fresh install. The only reason I didn't do that at first was the ton of stuff I will have re-install - but that's a small price to get it working right.
So, I'm off to start a fresh install.
Again, thanks to you all.

All is fine now. I wiped the Workbench partition, re-formatted it, then installed 3.1 from scratch. Now my A2000 boots so fast I can't hit the stop watch fast enough. Damn it's fast! Multiview works. It actually looks like everything works.
So, until I can figure out how to set my "new"CD ROM's SCSI ID, this will do fine.
Does anyone know how to set the jumpers on a Toshiba XM-5401B CD-ROM drive? I've already logged onto the Toshiba forums and asked that question. I'll see what I get back.
Until then, I am actually rather happy with 3.1 OS. I have to re-install some software, but that's a small price for a machine that works this well.
Now I have to get a new PPaint 7.3 package. Glad to see that's back in development......
