Well, the Google University comes thru again.
It made no sense to me why the drive would not work on cold boots. The Ebay seller said it was a pull from an Apple, but I'm thinking, not so much! In one of the programs, it stated that it was IBM PC formatted before I initialized it. With that in mind, went to Google U. and found the jumper listing. Two jumper settings stood out immediately: active termination on (was already set) and "auto start" (was not set). Snagged a jumper and now the drive boots from cold just fine! It's also available under 6.0.7 since I don't have to use "Mount Everything"'s mounting option anymore. I am using "Mount Everything"'s on disk driver and though it's not visible from "regular" HD Setup, it is available from floppy boots now.
Used my trusty 6.0.7 installation disks and now I'm booted from the hard drive under 6.0.7! Yeah, baby!!! Won't get anything meaningful done all weekend now while I play with all must control panels and inits from years gone by! Think I'll start with "On Startup" and "Bomb Shelter". :lol:
