Although conceptually all Beige ROM functionality is contained in the ROM SIMM, the Beiges are treated almost as if they were "New World" machines, in which much of the ROM code is actually contained in a file in the System Folder called "Mac OS ROM". It is through the mechanism of the Mac OS ROM taking precedence over the ROM SIMM that your Rev. A Beige is able to handle Slave drives. But, that cannot happen until after the system has been booted as otherwise the Mac OS ROM code is not there to perform its magic. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
