   P5/100

   810

   I don't have an exact answer to this at the moment, but I think freefall
has three Quantum PD-1800, one Quantum Grand Prix (might be a Seagate
Baracuda), and a Toshiba 3501 CDROM drive.

>4) type of hang (does the SDMS BIOS probe complete ?)

   The hang is at shutdown, not startup. Jordan might be able to tell you if
there are any console messages prior to the hang.
