Did you test all the hardware?  Both 55G's, and the new drive box's
power supply and disk cable?

After making your all-80-track boot disk, did you verify it?  Ident
os9boot, dcheck it?

Make sure (in all configurations) that when one drive is accessed,
they all spin.  Both Disk BASIC and OS-9 assume this -- and can
scramble disks by writing to them before they're fully spun up.
