OK, before I go screwing with it any more than I need too....

I fired  up the first 3100.  It has 7.1 (but I don't remember
any of the passwords.  Not a problem, I know how to break into
the box and reset the system password.) and 5.5 on it.  That
must go back quite a ways.

But here's the new problem.  I plugged an Expansion box in
the same outlet strip and connected them together. Kicks
the GFCI breaker!!  Disconnect the SCSI between the two
boxes.  As soon as I turn the second one on it kicks the
GFCI.  Either one is OK by itself, but the two together
kicks the GFCI.  Other than a wiring problem in the power
supply (I assume it would take one of them having the white
and black wires reversed in side the box) what else could
cause them to kick a GFCI as opposed to a circuit breaker?
