I'll have to admit its becoming a challenge here too, Bob.  Who is the 
elder here?, I hit 80 last Saturday.

All we should have to do, once we've got os9boot quasi configured, is 
change the slot number in the SDC descriptor to put the SDC in some non 3 
slot, and reboot with it in the selected (0-2) slot.  So you current scsi 
controller remains in the system in slot 3 (4 on the mpi switch), and is 
bootable until such time as the SDC is also.

Thats not set yet.  Whatever it is, I'm sure I can afford 1 since I do get 
an SS check monthly, and the place is paid for.
