Apple II gs problem - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 Sep 1999

...
   I just picked up a nice Apple II gs system but I
can't make it work.  It
keeps saying "check starttup device". I've tried several disk drives and
five different disks that should be bootable. Can anyone tell me more about
what it's looking for or what I might be doing wrong?  I've never used one
of these so I'm not familar with it. 
Is the system attempting to read the disk?  If not, you probably need to 
make some changes in the control panel.  Access it by pressing 
Option-Control-Reset immediately after turning on the system.  IIRC, the 
changes you want to make will be in the "Slots" menu, and involve which 
slots are used for boot-up.
