I write:

I have a different configuration, which is:

	Mac IIcx, w/ 5 Mb RAM, 40M Quantum Internal, etc.

I had exactly the same symptoms as the above two people and am asking for
a response from Apple to this problem. I used Silverlining 5.25/11 to init-
ialise a 300 Meg SCSI Drive. I set the partitions for 100 M of Macintosh, 
210 Meg total of A/UX. I am not sure whether this is a problem in the 
driver that Silverlining uses or whether A/UX is accessing SCSI devices in
a strange way.

ANY responses would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

David Sotnick
