I'm as little confused here, didn't you just say that the SSD worked as it should ? Please clarify. Or do the mSATA SSD disappear when you plug in the Fujitsu Hard Disk ? > Soekris USB Expansion ROM ver. 1.01 20111203 > ... > > You mention that comBIOS is "pretty quick".

I have long time ago turned up for a powerup mS delay, I think we need seconds now.... > What I see is quite a reproducible pattern with nothing involved > than the BIOS (whatever it consists of).

It's the first SATA disk I have seen with that problem, the net6501 has so many expansion options it's probably the right time to add a delay option in the comBIOS, I'm already considering it as we also have the powerup timing issue with some USB devices.
