Got to love those paper tabs for pulling.
In what way? The PC could be considered a simple architecture, too. Not
out a user's perspective, but the hardware design is simple, at least if
kept at a 1981 level.

Compared MSCP IDE is primitive.
On the Amiga, IDE is transparent, accessed through scsi.device. Might be
confusing if you know you haven't got any SCSI devices, though. =)
of the
interface to the media. It allows a MFM , EIDE or SCSI disk
to look and work the same to the OS.
Doesn't it on all platforms? I'm not certain about PC circumstances,
though. =) I inserted the
card in the same slot it was in before removal, but could
it have been inserted the wrong way?
Well if the componenets are oriented like the rest of the boards you have
it right. you sure it's pushed all the way in? Are you
sure you didn't move it
down one
or over (across)? Did you insure you didn't accidently pull another card
All the slots are filled, so there wasn't much choice.
out
and not insert it all the way? Did you move and jumpers, switches
inadvertantly?
No, I mainly took the card out, glanced at it, then proceeded to take the
drive on a tour through the house.
It you flipped it over the all important smoke will
escape and then you
have problems.
It's pretty hard to do that.
I can't recall any smoke either...
I don't
suppose it would matter on which connector on the SCSI cable
that
the RZ55 was connected?
Not likely, assuming all the connectors were in good shape. Hm, that
depends on your background. ^_^;;
As non PC minicomputers and workstations go it is.
