 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 I'm having a problem getting an Apple IIGS to talk to a MicroNet SCSI 30MB
 HD.  I have an Apple High-Speed SCSI card, MicroNet HD, and a 1MB Apple
 IIGS.  I also have v2.0 of the High-Speed SCSI Card Utilities.

 Although my Apple II SCSI Utilities see the HD, I can't get GS/OS (v5.0.2)
 to see the drive.

 DISCUSSION -------------------------------------------------------

 Assuming the hard drive is compatible with the Apple IIGS (check with
 MicroNet) here's what you need to do:

 Make a new bootable System Tools disk, using the Installer from the SCSI
 utilities disk, and specifically install the SCSI driver from the new
 utilities disk that came with the SCSI card.  This makes the disk realize
 there is a SCSI device attached.  As the system starts up, it looks for
 SCSI devices and if it finds one that should be readable but is not, it
 will then ask if you want to initialize.

 Make sure the slot the SCSI card is installed in is properly set in the
 Control Panel.  (That slot should say "your card".)
