by A couple of people suggested that I check the jumpering on the CD-ROM to
make sure it is jumpered for Master ... it is, so that does not appear to be
the cause of my problem.
Is there possibly any diagnostic or other info that I can look for on another
screen (console)? If so, how would I look at those other screens?
Thanks to the 2 guys who responded via email, and thanks in advance to anyone
with helpful advice.
