23.017 Sometimes the 3.5" drives on my GS do not function correctly. This started after adding a SCSI interface card. Is there a fix?

         This problem seems to crop up from time to time when a SCSI interface is
present, especially when no device is connected and recognized on the SCSI
chain. Evidently, something (e.g. a register or softswitch) in the usual GS
power-up routine relating to on-line devices gets messed up.

     Inserting a 3.5" diskette into Drive 1 before or just after power-up
usually forces recognition of 3.5" diskette drives and enables correct
functioning.
