Emu Emax 1 external SCSI Card Reader Problem

Emu Emax 1 external SCSI Card Reader Problem

I have an Emu Emax 1 with the external SCSI jack.  I can get it to
work with an external Zip disk fine.  But when I try to use it with my
external MicroTech card reader I am having problems.  If I set the
drive to SCSI id 1 I can boot off my floppy frive,  format the card
(card slot 1 with a PCMCIA 20MB card).  I can then use the copy
software option to put the OS on the card and go ahead and start
saving to the card.  All works fine until I restart the stystem.  If I
take the floppy disk out to boot off the Card Reader it freezes on the
loading system screen.  If I reboot with the floppy it will boot but
when I go to use the Card Reader it will say something about no
hardrive table found.  Then if I boot off the floppy and use the
verify hard drive - (Master - Special menu) it will find the drive and
verify it is fine and then I can save to the drive. 

The problem is that I can not boot off the card reader (need to use a
floppy all the time and I have to verify the drive (takes about 3
minutes) everytime I want to use it.

Anybody have any suggestions. 

Thanks for any help.
Joe
