But this is exactly the reason why I don't recommend the floppy jumper workaround, as it limits your troubleshooting options.

At boot it
check the [fake] floppy, then scans SCSI starting at ID 5. It then loops back to ID1 and scans up to 7, forever.
The HD has never been formatted by the EMAX II. It's an old Mac drive that I formatted as FAT in XP, then formatted in EMXP and installed the OS.
Am I missing anything?
