So I have a healthy Mac Plus that I restored over the last several months.  One of my experiments has been to buy an AztecMonster Compact Flash (CF) SCSI drive.  It works well enough as a storage device but I have so far not been able to boot from it.  I know about the notorious SCSI issues with the Plus and the stated work around for the AztecMonster is to disable pin 40 (RST) by "cutting" the pin.  I have done this by severing the corresponding wire in the cable ribbon assembly with an exacto-blade (I have some spare 50 pin ribbons so no big deal).  However this hasn't worked, I can't see the drive at all.  I used SCSIProbe and received a message about possible termination error.  I'm guessing I may need to ground the severed wire???  

So my questions are..

(1) Has anyone been able to boot a Mac Plus from of an AztecMonster CF SCSI drive?

(2) If so, what modifications, if any, did you do?

Thanks!
