Yes, SCSI is disabled, but if you say it works, I can try. Thee is not much to loose, the harddisk is empty anyhow. Is there another easy way to copy files, like installation files, onto an empty Atari harddisk? I could not get a CD-driver to work, I guess I copied most of the files with a floppy, but the initrd is too large for that, I don't remember how I did that... st-high is bad, I just switched to vga16.
