Bluescsi and Powerbook 160 question

Hello,

I have replaced the internal scsi drive of a Powerbook 160 with a Bluescsi.

A have a SD memory with 3 active images that works very well into a standard Bluescsi (the one for scsi flat cable) connected to the Powerbook scsi expansion port.

If I put this SD memory into the internal Bluescsi the boot become hazardous.
Sometime (often after a reset with the rear switch) the Powerbook boot and then everything seems to okay.
Sometime (generally after power on) the Powerbook wont boot and play the 4 notes dead chime.

If I disable 2 of the 3 images just leaving a bootable one then the Powerbook boot well everytime ! So I am salvaged...

I suspect a timing problem because when the bluescsi is outside the Powerbook he is powered before the computer but inside he is powered at the same time...
Also of course after a reset there is no problem because the bluescsi is already powered when the computer reboot.

But it could be handy to work with multiple images. Any idea will be appreciated !

Regards.
Philippe
