[Peter Stokes]

Hi Matt

Do you still have the Tosh CDROM, if so which model and what does it report
on probe-scsi?

Peter,

Actually no it is not an OEM cd.  A Toshiba came with the system and I can't
recall if I had gotten that sbus 6 error before I replaced it with this
Plextor.  ;-/  .  I wasn't really positive the cdrom would boot so that is
why i bought the plextor.  I have read that all plextors should be bootable
with that BLOCK jumper set.

Do you think that maybe movingthe video card to another slot would possibly
help or do you think it is definately a cdrom issue with the settings.
Maybe I should get the board bench tested.
losing hope..

Matt
