I never had any external devices. The PD is terminated, without
termination power, and is at the end of the cable. The 256MB HD
which I gave away, was at the middle of the cable, without
termination resistors. Everything works perfect under
RiscOS, but hangs the bootsequence of RiscBSD, after I removed the HD.
So I am very sure that the problem is software, not hardware.
