I started fresh with a new SD card and BlueSCSI and install was painless. I'm going to try again with the ZuluSCSI as I suspect user error.

Is there any better place than archive.org to post fresh-install disk images?

My config file for reference:

Code:
[SCSI]
EnableSCSI2 = 1 # Enable faster speeds of SCSI2
[SCSI6]
Type = 0
IMG0 = nexthd.hda
SectorsPerTrack = 139
HeadsPerCylinder = 4

[SCSI3]
Type = 2
IMG0 = nextstep.iso

Dual monitor setup was also a breeze... When I last had a 712/60 running Next in the mid 2000s I searched high and low for a dual monitor card and could not find one. I was elated when this 712/80 showed up on Ebay with a low buy-it-now price and the elusive dual monitor card. Having heard stories of dual monitor support on 68k Next hardware, I was hopeful, but not optimistic that it would work in PA-RISC. A few minutes in the config utility and reboot later and both monitors were working.

I bought mine from a reseller in Germany only 2 months ago so I suppose it's the newest model. Let me know your status and if you still need help and I can get it out and check my settings, etc (I was out on holidayS)
